Ritz Ballroom, Rhyl
Friday 19 and Saturday 20 July 1963
The Beatles played two consecutive nights at the ballroom on the Rhyl promenade in July 1963. The concerts - two on each day - all sold out some time in advance.
The concerts took place just a year after their inauspicious first Welsh show, also in Rhyl.
After the second show on the Saturday The Beatles drove straight back to Liverpool.
