BEATLES – Day By Day – 7/6/62
Friday, 6th July, 1962
The Beatles perfomed on board the MV Royal Iris, one of the famous Mersey Ferries as it cruised the river estuary. The event was organized by the management of The Cavern and billed as a “Riverboat Shuffle.”
Topping the bill was jazzman Acker Bilk, whose hit “Stranger On The Shore,” had spent an unprecedented six months in the UK Top Ten. During the evening Bilk presented John, Paul, George and Pete each with a copy of his trademrk black bowler hat.
