It started with 'Bowling Green' on the left and a steel works on the right, it finished at Upwell St/Rd and Brightside. fleetwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Duke007 Â Â 10 #38 Posted September 14, 2018 I own the Piano that Zena owned at the Azena Gleadless when the Beatles played there in 1963. Are there any photos of John Lennon playing the piano at this gig . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
scousemouse   10 #39 Posted September 16, 2018 Can remember meeting Edmund Hockridge in town I think he was appearing In Desert Song(?) at the Empire, can't remember the year though.  Saw lots of jazz bands at the City hall, including Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong Chris Barber, Acker Bilk etc.  Also '6.5 special' with Pete Murray Joesephine Douglas Don Lang and his frantic 5. OMG I really am old!! Don't make 'em like that anymore.!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Duke007   10 #40 Posted September 16, 2018 My Dad was Keith Mitchell who owned the insurance brokers on White lane called K.E Mitchell & son LTD. I’m the son Wayne. My dad knew Zena and bought the Challen Piano that my Dad used to play at the Azena and then John Lennon played it in 1963. I have that Piano in my lounge although I can’t play it but a peice of history none the less and a lovely peice of furniture.

Person6 Â Â 10 #41 Posted September 18, 2018 A link to the only photograph I've seen of the Beatles at the Azena. There may well be others.
