Wednesday, 8th November, 1961
The Beatles played a night time gig at The Cavern.
According to some sources Brian Epstein called The Cavern today asking for a VIP pass. However it is almost certain that it was Mersey Beat founder and editor Bill Harry who facilitated Epstein’s entry into the club the next day.
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.
