This was The Beatles’ first performance at Hambleton Hall in Huyton, Liverpool.
Entry was two shillings and sixpence before 8pm, and three shillings after that time. The Beatles topped a bill which also featured Derry & The Seniors and Faron & The Temptest Tornadoes.
It was booked by Wally Hill and Vic Anton, the promoters at the hall at the east of Liverpool. Hambleton Hall was a shabby municipal building which later became a probation office, situated on St David’s Road in Page Moss, Huyton.
