Footnotes

Following three appearances at the Aintree Institute on consecutive Fridays in July/August 1961, the Beatles were booked to play there each Saturday night between 12th August and 23rd September. The shows were organised by Brian Kelly, a sound engineer, who had been promoting dances on Merseyside since 1959. Kelly had put the Beatles on at Litherland Town Hall at the end of the previous December, when they caused a sensation amongst the audience with the style they had honed during their 100+ night-stint in Hamburg.
