Fact #88615
When:
Short story:
The Beatles begin a six-day season at The Odeon, Weston-super-Mare, England, UK, Europe, supported by Gerry And The Pacemakers and Tommy Quickly.Full article:
Tony Bramwell (assistant road manager) : The Beatles were very malleable at that time, they'd do anything for a photo. So sometime during this week, they did a photo session on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare with Dezo Hoffman, where they all dressed up and posed in old-fashioned Victorian swimming costumes. It was Dezo's idea, because Weston-Super-Mare still had all those ancient little huts on wheels that Victorian ladies used to get dressed in, then the hut would be wheeled down to the water's edge so the ladies could slip unobtrusively into the water, and maintain their decorum.

After our gig, we made our way back to Weston. I was on my Triumph Tiger Cub motor bike with Bob on the back, Remo was on his Vespa scooter with his brother.
