Short story:

The Beatles play their first gig in the south of England, in a so-called Battle Of The Bands, at The Palais Ballroom, Aldershot, Hampshire, UK, Europe, to an audience of just eighteen teenagers, because the local newspaper failed to run an advertisement for the show. The other band in the battle is Ivor Jay And The Jaywalkers.
