Thursday, 29th June, 1962
The Beatles played the first of what would turn out to be 17 engagements at the Majestic Ballroom, on Conway Street in Birkenhead, Cheshire. This would be their first booking at a venue owned and operated by the Top Rank organization, Britain’s top entertainment company of the time.
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.
