3 - Episode 3 – The Night The Beat Was Born

Episode 3 – The Night The Beat Was Born When the owner of the Jacaranda Allan Williams was checking out clubs in Hamburg with Lord Woodbine, he saw Bruno Koschmider beating up a customer and immediately thought, “This man needs some Liverpool acts in his club.” Koschmider thought British rock and roll was a good idea but his first signing was Tony Sheridan and the Jets. Then Koschmider had a Liverpool act, Howie Casey and the Seniors, followed by the fledging Beatles. The Beatles used the long hours to develop into a tremendous rock and roll act. They returned home in December 1960 expecting to play Williams’ new club, the Top Ten, but according to its DJ Bob Wooler, “It lasted five days and someone got careless with the Bryant and Mays.” Instead, they found themselves at Litherland Town Hall where they gave a jaw-dropping performance.
