Friday, 5th January, 1962
The Beatles played a lunch time gig at The Cavern.
Today also saw the official UK release by Polydor of “My Bonnie“ by Tony Sheridan and “The Beat Boys” (Paul, George and John), the track that The Beatles had recorded in Hamburg, Germany in July the previous year. This would be their first “official” UK single release.
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.
