Fact #53625
When:
Short story:
The Beatles record five songs for the BBC radio show Saturday Club, at The Playhouse Theatre, Northumberland Avenue, London, England, UK, Europe.Full article:
Bernie Andrews (producer, Saturday Club] : The boys were new to me then, but I had heard their first two discs and thought they had something. They were going to do Please, Please Me for us. I knew they also wrote their own songs, but I was quite unprepared for the Liverpool Sound that lit up the studio.
I can see the boys now, coming into the little Playhouse Studio … the hair, the Merseyside accents, and the Beatle brand of fooling around. Though they were a little uncertain then, they soon had the studio in stitches. But they were also strictly professional. Just as quickly, they'd switch off the gags and get to work.
Paul McCartney [The Beatles] : That was great. That was like a bit of an institution, it was like Top Of The Pops. I used to love it because it would be my one big lie-in of the week, and I could wake up to this great kind of pop programme on. So when we came to do it, it was really the big time! And they used to like us because we were quite wacky.
