The Beatles performed two concerts on this day, both in venues they hadn’t played before. The first was at the Palace Theatre Club in Turncroft Lane, Stockport, Cheshire, their only performance in the town. Afterwards, they drove 10 miles to their next booking, at the Southern Sporting Club in Manchester. The Beatles played for around 30 minutes, to 300mostly screaming fans. The booking had been made prior to the success of the Please Please Me single, but was honoured by Brian Epstein despite the group being able to command much higher fees by June.
