But what if he had this wrong and they actually played at the Apollo Roller Rink instead? This would mean that Ringo sat in for Pete Best at the Cavern and at the Apollo this day. Lewisohn goes on to say that Ringo sat in with the Beatles a few days later (Wednesday, March 28?) at a Cavern lunchtime session before Pete rejoined the group for the evening session, which supports the March 26 date.Ralph Holzapfelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934268614255666891.post-65594665595088768202021-08-24T19:06:56.431+01:002021-08-24T19:06:56.431+01:00I can only agree with the comments above!

Chronicle has a lunchtime date for the Cavern on the 26th of March, so they could easily have made the Wirral for 7.30.<br />Just out of interest, during the first lockdown I listened to all Mark Lewisohn interviews posted on YouTube, and there are a lot. Most I had heard before, but it was fascinating listening to them in a concentrated way. One thing he mentioned more than once was that he will not list a gig unless he has documentary evidence. The best example is probably Bernard Manning's frequent claim that the Beatles played in his north Manchester club. Mark must know about the Apollo gig given the advertising and plaque, but I suspect the information came too late for the Chronicle book, which is now almost 30 years old, and not all gigs made it into Tune In. In some of the interviews he mentioned making revisions to Tune In due to new information, but I guess we are all keen for him to complete the remaining books before revising the first one!

It reveals more of the top of the railway poster. It shows times for trains on "Whit Sunday" & "Whit Monday". A quick google search and both fell on the 3rd & 4th June 1962. The following year 1963 they fell on the 2nd & 3rd of June. So can only be 1962.wizznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934268614255666891.post-40871740861903133262021-08-13T21:25:21.715+01:002021-08-13T21:25:21.715+01:00RE. the John Baldry photo, the only other possible...RE. the John Baldry photo, the only other possible Sunday in June with a 3 was 23 June 1963 (if the "2" on the post is missing or defaced). This is intriguing because we know the Beatles were home for Paul's 18th birthday party on 18 June 1963 and travelled to London the next day for a BBC radio show. Paul and Baldry might be more familiar with each other 12 months on. Was Baldry at the 21st? (30 June 1963 was also a Sunday but that doesn't fit the poster). ashwomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944671750416171350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934268614255666891.post-57328622250726137532021-08-13T21:04:53.060+01:002021-08-13T21:04:53.060+01:00Thank you.Thank you.ashwomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944671750416171350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934268614255666891.post-76810256385391520242021-08-13T21:04:40.392+01:002021-08-13T21:04:40.392+01:00Thanks Wizz.

As usual, a few comments from me.<br /><br />I am really impressed with the detective work that identifies the date of Paul meeting John Baldry. Anyone who has tried to date family photos, etc, will understand the importance of any form of evidence. However, it still leaves the mystery of when Macca and Baldry first met, and what he was doing in Liverpool that summer.<br /><br />It seems inconceivable that Lewisohn would not have details of the Apollo Roller Rink gig on the 26th of February. I note that in the Chronicle text (1993), which added extra research to his first main text, Beatles Live, he records the Beatles performing at the Kingsway Club in Southport. It is possible that the Southport gig was earlier or later than 7.30pm, but this is quite a distance to cover and I think it more likely that they were double booked and that Mark has gone for the date that he has firmer evidence for. <br /><br />To my knowledge, the first time Mark got hold of the Parlophone paperwork which demonstrated that the June trip was a recording session and not an audition was in the late 1980s and included in the Recording Sessions book (1988). He presented the evidence to George Martin who seemed to be genuinely perplexed. Of course, in Tune In Mark presents a convincing case for what really happened and my George Martin may have wanted to keep the truth quiet.James Percivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736990790811230274noreply@blogger.com
