In praise of - The Beatles.

WHERE do you start with the Beatles?

Well, August 18, 1962 might do. That's when the four members of the band as we know and revere them played their first public gig together.

The venue? Hulme Hall in the village of Port Sunlight, Wirral. The occasion? The local horticultural society's 17th annual dance.
