Do you remember the Beatles in Manchester?
Do you remember the Beatles visits to Manchester?
If the answer is Yes then Mancunian and Beatle fan Paul Wilde would like to hear from you. Manchester played an important part in the early success of the Fab Four. However, Manchester’s role is not always recognised. Thats why Paul has asked for people to come forward and tell him more about the Beatles in Manchester.
Paul runs the Beatles In Manchester web site which documents the Beatles visits to, and performances in, Manchester. Paul is looking for anecdotes, photographs, printed material and reminiscences relating to the Beatles in Manchester. Manchester gave John, George, Paul and Ringo a number of ‘firsts’ before any other town!
Paul invites people to email their personal stories of any Beatles encounters. This could be something as simple as being in the audience at local venues, seeing them in a hotel or just about any encounter you remember. Paul plans to build up a historical document of the Beatles in Manchester for future generations.
Do you remember the Beatles at the ABC in Ardwick in 1963….? If you missed it, here is a great Pathe newsreel – The Beatles Come To Town – showing the Beatles arrival at the venue and excerpts from the classic concert.
