Sunday, 13th January, 1963
The Beatles travelled north from Kent to the ABC Televison studios on Aston Road in the Aston district of Birmingham.
They were there to tape an appearence on Thank Your Lucky Stars, at the time Britain’s most popular TV pop programme. The Fab Four were bottom of the seven-act bill and mimed to “Please, Please Me.”
Alan J. Porter has been a Beatles fan since he first saw them perform on a regional British TV show back in 1963 when he was just a wee lad. He is the author of the critically acclaimed BEFORE THEY WERE BEATLES and occasional contributor to Beatlology Magazine. He now lives in Central Texas and occasionally writes about things other than The Fab Four. You can find out more here.
