We are delighted that the Cavern Club will be working in partnership with St Peter’s Church and Bishop Martin School to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the day that John met Paul on July 6, 1957, at our Church fete.  The involvement of the Cavern in our anniversary celebrations on July 6 2017 reflects the importance of St Peter’s Church in the history and heritage of the Beatles, and we are thrilled that they are able to share our special day.

In addition to all the fabulous events included in the Cavern announcement, the Church Hall will be open on July 6 from 10am to 3pm, with free admission, live music and refreshments.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Announcement from Cavern City Tours/the Cavern Club

On 6 July 1957, 60 years ago this summer, John Lennon and his band The Quarrymen followed a marching band through the streets of Woolton to play at the annual St. Peter’s Garden Fete. That afternoon he met Paul McCartney and together they went on to change the face of music forever.
This year, on 6 July 2017, 60 years to the day, we will be celebrating the anniversary of The Quarrymen’s performance at the Fete, and the day John met Paul. We will step back in time to replicate the Fete and the Grand Dance at the Church Hall. This will be a community
collaboration with the Church and Bishop Martin School where the original Fete took place. All the elements of a typically English garden fete will be celebrated, including the children’s fancy dress party, the Crowning of the Rose Queen and the procession of The Quarrymen on a flat back lorry through the village. Amongst the many attractions will be games, cake sales, refreshments, and much more and, of course, dancing to the music of The Quarrymen and other artists.

10 years into the future, the 1967 Summer of Love, another marching band was born. 2017 also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It’s safe to say that The Beatles may not have happened if it had not been for the 6 July 1957 – the Day John Met Paul.

Please bring your friends along and help us celebrate this historic day, and dress in 1950s style if you want to, be as authentic as you dare! Entry to the event will be by purchase of a programme on the day. You can just walk up and pay; no ticketing in advance is required. Tickets for the Grand Dance in the evening will go on sale, online, sometime in early June, so watch this space. It will be a fabulous day for everyone with Satisfaction is guaranteed!!!
