Getting Ready

 

Blackpool '64

July 19, 1964

Opportunity Knocks

Blackpool Night Out is known as being the first time the song "Yesterday" was performed live.  But it is also the time that the Beatles danced on stage.    These 1960's television shows were a little strange to me.

During rehearsal, but the only photo I could find of Paul

Hurry up and wait

Tivvy meets the Beatles

In the mid-1960's kids in the UK liked the TV times mascot, a bird named Tivvy.    Tivvy had his own column in the magzine as well as  a fan club and a 45.  

 

Occasionally Tivvy would get to meet various people and the photographs would show up in the TV Times.   Such was the case on August 1, 1965 when Tivvy got to get some photos taken during the Beatles rehearsal for the Blackpool Night Out.
