About
From Beatles Bible:
On 7 March 1962 The Beatles recorded their radio debut at the Playhouse Theatre, Hulme, Manchester.
The recording was for the show Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go. The band rehearsed their set from 3.45pm.
In the evening, wearing suits for the very first time, The Beatles performed three cover versions: Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream?), Memphis, Tennessee and Please Mister Postman. Together with the other three acts also appearing on the programme, the recording took place between 8 and 8.45pm.
The show was broadcasted on the BBC Light Programme the following day between 5 and 5.30pm.
