At the start of 1963, The Beatles were a successful local Liverpool band with one hit single; twelve months, two albums and the arrival of Beatlemania later, they were on the cusp of world domination.

JPGR&B SUBS 12th Aug 2023		Plastic EP interviews Dafydd Rees



JPGR&B SUBS 15th Feb 2022		From The Chronicle 26 November 2014: Memories and stories of the Fab Four's first shows in the North East. Music writer Dafydd Rees is appealing to members of the public who saw the Beatles in 1963 in the North East to re-live and share their memories for a new book he is writing. In January 2021 he told NorthEast daily newspaper The Chronicle "Beatlemania - A Year In The Life 1963” is a day by day account of what The Beatles did throughout that year, complemented by stories from those who saw them, worked with them or encountered them. “The nature of the beast is that little of the early part of that year is documented, while the end of the year is exactly the opposite. “To avoid bringing out an unbalanced book, those first few months require some diligent research and finding people who saw them.” Dafydd, who has contributed to books on Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, has pin-pointed several key Newcastle dates in 1963 he’d like to learn more about. These are: January 28: The Beatles played the Majestic in the midst of that year’s notoriously harsh winter. March 23: They were back in Newcastle at the City Hall on the Tommy Roe/Chris Montez bill. June 26: Did the band stay at the Royal Turks Hotel or the Jesmond Imperial Hotel? This has long been a bone of contention. October 27: The box office for the Beatles’ November 23 City Hall show opened. There are a series of well-known pictures of fans queuing. November 23: The Beatles played the City Hall.
