A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES (JUNE 11)
-------------------------------------------
1960 The Silver Beatles perform at Grosvenor Ballroom, Liscard, Wallasey. Drummer Tommy Moore doesn't show up, taking a night job driving a forklift at a bottle works. His girlfriend wanted him to get a regular job, and he'd had enough of John. Although Moore will play with the group one last time two nights later, probably feeling guilty for bailing out unannounced this night, he'd made his decision to quit the band.On this night (06-11),The Silver Beatles are nervous about being assaulted by toughs in the audience for not having a drummer, so John asks if someone in the audience wants to help them out.One of the local gang-leaders,a Teddy boy with the name Ronnie,steps up to volunteer.It becomes painfully clear right away that he'd never drummed in his life. Ronnie decides he wants the position permanently,so The Beatles make a quick call to their manager Allan Williams.Williams comes over and somehow gets Ronnie off the stage without any violence.
