Monday, 3rd July, 1961
The four Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best arrive back in Liverpool from Hamburg. Following their gruelling 13 week engagement at the Top Ten Club they decide to take a two week vacation and won’t play as a group again until the 13th.
Stuart Sutcliffe, having effectively left the group, remains behind in Hamburg.
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.
