TODAY IN BEATLES HISTORY:
April 18, 1963. On this day The Beatles topped the bill at the Royal Albert Hall, London, for a concert broadcast live by the BBC.
The event, titled Swinging Sound 63, also featured Del Shannon, the Springfields, Rolf Harris, Kenny Lynch and George Melly, among others. It took place in two parts separated by an interval, with The Beatles taking the stage twice - at 8.40pm and again at 10pm, introduced both times by George Melly.
The Beatles performed just two songs in their first set: Please Please Me and Misery. Neither were taped or broadcast by the BBC. For the second set, which was transmitted live, they played Twist And Shout and From Me To You.
The show’s finale featured The Beatles, along with all the other acts, in an instrumental version of Mack The Knife.
Following the event, Paul McCartney for the first time met Jane Asher, who would become his girlfriend and later his fiancée. The actress had earlier that day posed for a Radio Times photoshoot, in which she was snapped screaming for the group.
Outstanding!
Oct. 1963 - Jane at a pink party with Honey readers all receiving make-up tips from an expert. From Lady Jane yahoo group.
Pink Party LineHoney magazine’s make-up party with TV beauty expert Claire Wallace showing guests what colors work best for them. The Honey party set was painted pink and so were all the light bulbs. Guests, including Jane Asher, wore pink or red dresses. The article continues with details about how to host your own beauty themed party…
When I made this scan from Honey magazine’s October 1963 issue Jane Asher was identified in the photo. I still wonder, though, could that be Pattie Boyd in the upper left corner wearing the red shift with her hair up???

Yes, she seems Pattie a lot, and then this would be wonderful!! the two modeling together! :)
Yes! So interesting to see Pattie and Jane modelling together several months before Pattie met George filming A Hard Day’s Night. Have never seen any mention that Pattie and Jane met previous to their Beatles connection - wonder if they remember meeting? Will put making a larger scan of this on my list of things to do!

SHE’S TOPS WITH THE POPS
Lucky Pattie Feels At Ease With The Beatles
If the name Pattie Boyd doesn’t ring a bell, it soon will. For Pattie, a sylph-like 20-year-old from Taunton in Devon, is a youngster who’s discovered there’s always room at the top if you’ve got what it takes.
That this ex-convent schoolgirl has what it takes is immediately apparent to the connoisseur - lissom figure, pert smile and an individual personality … which have lifted her to the top model-girl ranks, into the film the Beatles have made, and into the new TV “Danger Man” series.
Pattie is also one of the biggest talking points as far as Beatle’s fans are concerned: her name has been romantically linked with George for the past few months.
“George is my favourite,” she admits. “He’s got time to talk to you.”
But Pattie wasn’t always at ease with the Beatles.
“I first met them with a mixture of excitement and nerves. I wanted to talk to them but I was afraid because I couldn’t think of anything to say.”
But she has evidently said plenty since then … for she accompanied the Beatles, in particular George, on their “let’s get away from it all” whistle-stop tour round the world.
Yet when George first asked her for a date she turned him down!
“I didn’t accept,” explains Pattie, “because I already had a boyfriend at the time.”
Her friendship with George developed when the Beatles and entourage of film-men, fans and hangers-on went down to Devon for location shots for their film.
But despite the growing rumours … “there’s no engagement,” Pattie and George insist, ”nor is it foreseen.”
Blonde, blue-eyed Pattie (“Battie” to the Beatles) has been modelling 18 months, says she much prefers simple but stylish clothes to the exotic designs - “I go for the younger, modern type of fashion.”
Ambition? “I’m quite happy modelling,” she smiles.

Maureen Starr Tribute @ Yahoo!
Cyn and Mo visited the Beatles at their hotel in August 1963 to celebrate John and Cyn’s wedding anniversary.
These photos may have been taken on August 22, 1963 at the hotel in Bournemouth where the Beatles were staying during their tour. Cynthia was visiting John for a few days on the road and was photographed during an interview with Johnny Dean for the Beatles Monthly Book. The photos of Ringo and Maureen appear to be from the same time. Scans and retouching from the Maureen Starr Tribute group at Yahoo!
