OK, readers, here’s another quiz for you.
What drummer played his first gig with his new, already-pretty-popular rock & roll band at Hulme Hall, in Port Sunlight, Birkenhead, England on this day, August 18, a Saturday, in 1962?
Bonus question: can you also name the band?
Have fun! To answer, leave a comment.
