I Saw The Beatles in Worcester in 1963 at the Gaumont Cinema,The month i forget. I was 13.
i went on my own, so lucky to get a Ticket.
To see them cost me 10 Bob, (Ten Shilling), 2 weeks pocket money.
I was right at the back, any further back i would been in Foregate Street.
What a Great Night, I only Saw ALL of them on stage about once when they done a quiet number because of the Screaming Girls who were standing up and i was only little at the time.
The Beatles stayed in the Gifford Hotel near the Cathedral, the best hotel at the time in Worcester, I have stayed there since but its not the same anymore.
At least i can say I SAW THE BEATLES AT THE HEIGHT OF BEATLE MANIA,
I will never forget it as long as i live, Unforgetable.
A great anecdote, but The Beatles did not stay at the Gifford, this was under construction in 1965 and not completed until 1967. An old lady i used to live next door to in Malvern says she remembers them staying at the Abbey Hotel in Malvern, Worcestershire in the early 1960’s, so I assume they stayed their on this tour, as it was a small idyllic town at the time, 10 miles from Worcester city centre.
i was 15 and my first job was at this cinema i met all the stars at that time,little richard asked me to get him a stake sandwich wich i bought from the then hotpole he gave me five pounds and told me to keep the change,paul mc cartney later gave me his autograph as did the stones gerry and the pacemakers
My first concert ever this was, great to be a part of this era in music the best time ever.
