The Beatles’ second radio appearance took place on this day, on the BBC show Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go.
The recording took place at the Playhouse Theatre in Manchester. The Beatles took part in rehearsals from 4pm, and the show was taped from 8.45-9.30pm. This edition of Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go was broadcast on the BBC Light Programme on Friday 15 June from 5-5.30pm.
The Beatles performed three songs before a studio audience: ‘Ask Me Why’, ‘Besame Mucho’, and ‘A Picture Of You’. ‘Ask Me Why’ was therefore the first Lennon–McCartney song to be broadcast.
