The Beatles played this Lancashire town dance promoted by the youth club of the local Baptist church on this night.
They were top of a bill which also included The Electones, The Mike Taylor Combo and The Mustangs with Ricky Day.
Earlier in the day The Beatles' 16 January appearance on the BBC radio show Here We Go was broadcast, as was the 21 January recording of Radio Luxembourg's Friday Spectacular.
I just purchased an original players cigarette case with all four beatles signing their names on the inside.. my authentication shows these autographs were obtained that evening Jan 25, 1963
went to see beatles played at darwen. 1963 John smashed his guitar over head of a fan. It was real . Good night out.
Would you by any chance know of any of the Mustang Group who played with the Beatles. My husband was Ricky Day and he would love to contact the other members
