1962: St. John’s Hall, Bootle
Tower Ballroom, New Brighton, Wallasey
“The Bootle date was a slight reversion to habitats of old inglorious jive halls. But it was played because young promoter Dave Forshaw always saved and worked hard so that occasionally he could present a top-line act for his clientele. Later in the evening The Beatles went across the Mersey for another Tower booking, billed on this occasion as a ‘Mad March Rock Ball’.”
