Monday, 13th August, 1962
The Beatles played a lunch time gig at The Cavern before travelling the 45 miles to Crewe for a night time session at the Majestic Ballroom on the town’s High Street. This Top Rank owned venue billed its beat nights as “The Biggest Rock Since Blackpool Rock.”
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.
