An eight-hour music marathon was staged at the Cavern on this Sunday night, titled "Rhythm And Blues Marathon".
The Beatles topped a bill that also included The Fourmost, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes, The Hollies, The Merseybeats, The Roadrunners, Earl Preston and the TTs, and the Swinging Blue Jeans. 'Swinging' Cilla Black also took to the stage during Kingsize Taylor's set.
This was The Beatles' 276th known Cavern Club performance, and their 122nd evening show.
The precise number of their Cavern performances is not known, although The Beatles played at least 155 lunchtime and 125 evening shows. Their final performance at the underground venue took place on 3 August 1963.
