Sunday, 19th August, 1962
The Beatles played a night time gig at The Cavern. This was Ringo’s first appearence at The Cavern as a member of The Beatles, and the Pete Best fans weren’t happy about it. As the group entered the club a fight broke out with some of Pete’s supporters and George Harrison recieved a black eye.
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.
