Sunday, 4 August, 1963
The Beatles perform at Queen’s Theatre in Blackpool. So many fans are crowded around the theatre, blocking every entrance, that The Beatles have to go through a construction area, up and across some scaffolding to the roof of the theatre, from where they are lowered through a trap door.
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.
