The Beatles played in Guernsey exactly 60 years ago today.
So in honour of the fab four, there was an amazing tribute band playing the same set tonight and even at the same venue.
Lots of interesting facts about the original gig were told to the large audience, originally they only played 9 songs and were only on stage for 24 minutes!
Tonights band played the same 9 songs, only two of which I have heard before!
However the Beatles did release 32 songs in 1963, so the band played all the 32 as their set.
It was actually raining at the start, it seemed pretty dangerous to be playing at all, luckily it did clear up after 10 minutes …..
Wonderfull experience, really set the imagination back in time, there were in fact several people in the crowd that were there 60 years ago!
The weather was particularly unseasonal, it looked like touch and go for a time however, it all came good and it was great see so many folk attending regardless of the drizzle.
We were almost first there!
