Here is a bit of trivia for you Steerforth, and though it doesn’t provide the help you are after it does tell you which that other town in Lancashire you made mention of was. On the Internet there is an article about the Imperial Ballroom at Nelson in Lancashire, better known as The Imp. It states that on 11th May 1963 the Beatles performed there and it was their first concert since 27th April. Apparently they had been on holiday and had returned to Liverpool on 9th May 1963.

About 2,000 teenagers saw them play and some had to be held back by bouncers at the foot of the stage.

By the way, a lot of famous people performed at The Imp. Sadly it burned down in 1976.
