Aldershot, 1961 This is one great pic!! A) Shows what we all know, but sometimes I forget ... the Beatles had to slog through years of paying their dues. Not many folks at this dance! And not too "hip" I'd guess. And I'd also guess the dancers don't really care much who is singing lead or harmony, or that the band is developing their unique style of playing - doesn't look like the band is the center of attention at all ... "just play something so we can dance please"! Either way, a gig, and probably a paying one! B) They were onstage in an arrangement not so common in later years ... John in the middle, Paul on the left. I don't think it's a turned around negative, because they are all playing their guitars with the "correct" hand.

According to Mark Lewisohn, the promotor of this concert in Aldershot forgot to advertise for the Beatles concert. That's why just a handful of people came to see. The band played there again a couple of weeks later and the place was absolutely crowded then. The Beatles were becoming quite popular already. That is why this shot is quite rare!

Love the picture, BlueMeanie: I could well believe the finger bit if that had been Paul instead of John!

They say every picture tells a story. This one tells the story of Rory Storm lying on the floor hopelessly drunk as he shouts up to Paul, 'I wanna be in the picture'. So, as you can see, Paul bent down and lifted his foot into the shot. Rory really does have a photogenic foot wouldnt ya say?
