Older Whitchurch residents are being asked to rack their brains and donate their memories of seeing The Beatles play in Whitchurch to a tribute band.

The Mersey Beatles will be playing the Civic Centre on November 8 but are looking for people to pass on their memories to the band from when John, Paul, George and Ringo graced the stage in the town.

Your memories could play a starring role in the show and Mark Bloor, who takes on the role of John Lennon, is looking to sharing these experiences with all in the crowd.

"All our shows are a massive celebration of the best band and best music ever made and audiences always play a huge part in the experience," he said. "We like people to get up on their feet, dancing and joining in.

“For this, our biggest ever UK Tour, we are playing the same venues and towns the Fab Four played back in the days of Beatlemania. We want as many of those fans who were at the original gigs to relive those golden days. And what better way than to capture their stories and memories and include them as part of the show?

“So, if you were at the original gigs, or your parents or grandparents were, then please get in touch. We’d love to hear those stories and share them at each show.”

The Mersey Beatles are playing the very same towns, cities and famous British venues the original Fab Four did during the days of Beatlemania.

Fresh from sell-out shows across America and Europe, the band’s ‘Get Back UK Tour’ and this interactive show will feature treasured stories and memories from fans who saw John, Paul, George and Ringo when they played Whitchurch 55 years ago.

The Beatles played the Town Hall Ballroom – which was located on the site of the Civic Centre – on January 19, 1963. This was the same day as the band’s important appearance on TV’s Thank Your Lucky Stars, playing their new hit Please Please Me.

Anyone who was at the gig and wants to share their experience is urged to please email your memories of The Beatles in Whitchurch to merseybeatles@rhodesmedia.com
