Live: Gaumont Cinema, Doncaster

This was the third and final occasion on which The Beatles performed at Doncaster’s Gaumont Cinema. They had previously visited on 5 February and 22 March 1963.

This time it was the 31st date of the group’s 1963 Autumn Tour. In their dressing room The Beatles gave an interview to Australian radio journalist Dibbs Mather for the BBC Transcription Service, to be broadcast overseas. The interview featured John Lennon reciting his poem Neville Club, and announcing his intention to publish a book of his writings. The recording was first heard in the internationally-broadcast show Dateline London.
