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!

are £10 and £8 concessions, and can be bought direct from the Grosvenor
Ballroom by calling in person or phone 0151-637-1341
