Sundays Were Different Then -14th April 1963
Sundays were different then…
Few cars. Shops closed. Empty streets. No movement. Silence broken only by church bells. To make matters worse - on Sunday 14th April 1963 it was raining too!
At ABC Studios in Teddington the Beatles are recording an insert for “Thank your Lucky Stars”. They are miming to their third release “From Me to You”. Their last record “Please Please Me” had gone to No. 2 in the charts. Although it will be seven months before we hear the term “Beatlemania” the word is out. The Beatles are ‘hot’!
As the Beatles rehearse in Teddington a young rhythm and blues band, formed only 10 months earlier, are setting up for an afternoon session at Ken Colyer’s Jazz Club in Soho. It is the start of a busy day for them. Later that evening they will travel out to Richmond to play at a club called the Crawdaddy recently opened at the Railway Hotel. It is run by a young Russian emigre and film maker, Giorgio Gomelsky. Mick, Charlie, Keith, Bill, Brian and Ian are looking forward to that. When they first played at the Crawdaddy two months ago there were only 50 kids in the audience. Last Sunday there were 320! Suddenly rhythm and blues is no longer the music of traddies, jazzers and weirdy beardies. Over the last few months it has caught the fancy of young, trendy, discriminating teenagers.

5,000 Boys and the Old Deer Park
A short sighted optimist (or someone who doesn’t get out much) recently described the Old Deer Park as
bq. ‘a gloriously majestic riverside stretch…ancient oaks, dry grassland, a riparian pond, ditches and woodland - all providing a series of important nature conservation areas … a delight to behold. A great place to wander around and get lost!’
“Get lost” indeed!
