This was The Beatles’ second appearance at the Floral Hall on the Promenade in Southport, Lancashire. They gave two ‘houses’ – performances – for different audiences in the evening.
The Beatles played at the Floral Hall on four occasions. The other dates were 20 February 1962; and 23 April and 15 October 1963.
The Floral Hall was built in the 1930s and became part of the Southport Theatre when the latter was added in 1973. It is still in use today.
