The Beatles' first English tour lasted from 2 February 1963 until 3 March 1963. The Beatles were fourth on an eleven-act bill headed by 16-year-old Londoner, Helen Shapiro. Other acts on the tour were the Red Price Band, The Kestrels, The Honeys (UK), Dave Allen, Kenny Lynch and Danny Williams.[1] They were also joined briefly by Billie Davis during the latter part of the tour.[2]
The tour was organised by the Arthur Howes Agency. This was the first time that the Beatles had worked with Howes.[3]
