This day in 1963

On June 4, 1963, the first broadcast of The Beatles' own BBC radio series, Pop Go The Beatles! was aired. 1963 was the year Beatlemania broke out and as a result, a whopping 2.8 million people listened to that first broadcast. The boys' popularity would only go up from here. In addition, The Beatles travelled to the north of England to the Town Hall in Congreve, Birmingham.
