IT'S TIME TO ROCK THE GROSVENOR BALLROOM


A new play called Bestbeat captures those incredible Merseybeat days. written by award-winning Liverpool writer Frank Duffy, it tells the story of what happened to original Beatles' drummer, Pete Best , after he was sacked in 1962 and replaced by Ringo Starr just as they were about to change music and the world forever. Frank Duffy always wanted the play to be performed at Merseybeat venues were The Beatles, with Pete Best, played. And what better place than the Grosvenor Ballroom? We are very proud to be hosting this amazing play here
Bestbeat comes to the Grosvenor Ballroom, Grosvenor street, Wallasey on Saturday 5th October, doors open 6.45pm and the show starts at 7.30pm. The bar will be available before he the show during interval and after
The Grosvenor Ballroom played an important part in the early development of The Beatles. The group played there a number of times in the days when they were just another unknown group. And, of course, when their drummer was fans' favourite Pete Best not Ringo Starr. Like many others, Pete Best was a young musician who wanted to play his favourite music as a drummer, so he joined a group called the Beatles... Pete was with them at the start of their epic journey from 1960 until he was dismissed by Beatles' manager Brian Epstein August 1962. Pete thought he was on the verge of the big time with the group. It didn't happen for him as his life changed on one fateful day........
Bestbeat tells this fascinating story using drama, humour and original songs performed by a live band. It's a show you won't want to miss!
Tickets are £10 and £8 concessions, and can be bought direct from the Grosvenor Ballroom by calling in person or phone 0151-637-1341
