Wednesday, 12th Spetember, 1962
Back again Liverpool after the quick trip to Abbey Road, The Beatles played a night time gig at The Cavern. As well as performing their own set they also provided backing for teenage singer Simone Jackson (who had only been perfoming professionaly for five weeks). Also on the bill were Manchester group Freddie & The Dreamers.
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.
