*Ø* Blogmanac | June 22, 1957 | Early Beatles gig
The Quarrymen (later the Beatles) played one of their first gigs – on the back of a coal truck.
“It was on the 22nd June 1957 when they played on the back of a coal lorry to celebrate a street party. The story goes that the girls took a fancy to John, who had steeled himself with a few drinks, and the local lads got jealous and threatened the Band. They all had to hide in one of the houses until things had quietened down.” Source
