BEATLES – Day By Day – 12/13/61
Wednesday, 13th December, 1961
The Beatles played two gigs at The Cavern today, one at lunch time and one in the evening. The evening performance was attended by Mike Smith the A&R (artist and repetoire) assistant from Decca Records who had travelled up from London with a view to signing The Beatles to a British recording contract. The outcome of Smith’s visit was an invitation to audition for the label at the end of the year.
