The Beatles Autographs from 1965 signed page
The autograph book came from the lady Margaret, who’s father was a local driver for artists playing at the concert hall. The Autographs signed on the 1st August 1965. By John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for the driver who took them to the venue.
Again, signatures signed by all in black ballpoint pen. Came with letter from the driver’s daughter Margaret (who the autographs are dedicated to in the hand of John). Newspaper cut out from 2nd Aug 1965 telling about the show and showing the driver with The Beatles Autographs. Also in the book are autographs from; Vera Lynn, Tom Jones. Bob Monkhouse, Jimmy Clitheroe, Matt Monroe. Richard Todd, Stubby Kaye. Donald Pleasence. Sammy Bernstein and more.

Known as the Blackpool Night Out. The 1st August 1965 is when The Beatles made one television appearance in Britain to promote the Help! album. Other shows had to run pre-recorded clips instead.
Blackpool Night Out was made by ABC TV, and filmed at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool. Shown by all but one of the ITV companies across the UK, in a live broadcast between 9.10pm and 10.05pm.
The Beatles performed ‘I Feel Fine’, ‘I’m Down’, ‘Act Naturally’. And ‘Ticket To Ride’, before Paul McCartney sang ‘Yesterday’ on his own. Also, the first time the song performed on British television.
The group closed with ‘Help!’, following John Lennon’s tongue-in-cheek announcement to McCartney: “Thank you Ringo, that was wonderful”.
