Get Ready for an Exclusive Night of Live Piano Hits and the Historic Tales from the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton.
On their rise to stardom, The Beatles played at the New Brighton Tower Ballroom on 27 Occasions. It was the most played location away from The Cavern in Liverpool.
The Ballroom was one of the largest in the world, with a sprung floor and dance band stage. The orchestra had as many as 60 players. Big bands played at the Tower, including Bert Yates, Bill Gregson and Victor Sylvester. Other well-known artists appeared at the Ballroom including Mae West in November 1945. Well over 1,000 couples could dance without undue crowding. It was decorated in white and gold, with the emblems of various Lancashire towns. The Ballroom had a balcony, with seats to watch the dancers below. Behind this was an open space, where couples used to learn the dance without interfering with the more proficient ones. There was also a fine billiard Saloon with 5 tables. Above the Ballroom there was a Monkey House and Aviary in the Elevator Hall and also a Shooting Gallery.
The end came in April 1969, when a Fire destroyed the Tower Ballroom. It was devastating for the Town. Join us as we pay Tribute to the Music and History of the New Brighton Tower
