Were You There?
Thistle Cafe, West Kirby :: Thursday 1st February 1962
On the night of 1st February 1962 the Beatles fulfilled their first booking by their new manager Brian Epstein. Supported by Steve Day & the Drifters, the gig took place in a dance instruction hall above what was then the Thistle Cafe on Banks Road in West Kirby on The Wirral, about 10 miles from Liverpool.
For this night only the hall was renamed 'The Beatles Club'. On its' site now is the What's Cutting hair salon, the owners of which, Mr & Mrs Roberts are researching the Beatles performance at this venue (click here for a map showing the location).
If you attended this momentous night or can provide any further information, then the owners of What's Cutting would like to hear from you. Please send your e-mails to me at art@birtall.co.uk and I will forward them to Mr & Mrs Roberts. Many thanks.
Medium: Acrylics on stretched canvas.
