Published on Monday 21 May 2007 11:42

Concerts in 1963 and 1964

Music legends The Beatles performed just three times in Luton - between April 1963 and November 1964.

Their first, almost unheralded gig was at the Majestic Ballroom in Mill Street on April 17, 1963, about a month before their first album, Please Please Me, was released and made them household names.

By the time The Beatles played the Odeon in Dunstable Road on September 6, 1963, and the Ritz in Gordon Street on November 4, 1964, their fame preceded them and hundred of fans queued for the performances. Jimmy Savile was among them at the Odeon.

These Luton News photographs were taken at the Odeon and Ritz.
