BEATLES producer Sir George Martin has been wined and dined by the prime minister at his country retreat.

Gordon Brown revealed the influential arranger and composer has been on the guest list at Chequers over the past year.

He joined a weekend party to celebrate British achievements in arts, popular culture and sports.

Aides said Mr. Brown regarded the 82-year-old as a “massive figure” in the development of Britain’s distinctive pop back catalogue.

A Whitehall aide said: “The PM respects talent, particularly when it bridges different styles and different generations.”

It's the Prime Minister who decides who gets the MBE's and OBE's and Knighthoods.

What a golden opportunity for Sir George to put a long-overdue bug in the ear of Gordon Brown ~ why can't he talk him into giving our Brian what he deserves, albeit posthumously?
