Beatles 1963 NME Awards Program

Original vintage program for the 1962–63 Annual Poll-Winners' All-Star Concert presented by New Musical Express (NME) at Wembley's Empire Pool on April 21, 1963, 14 pages, 5.75 x 8.75, which lists the Beatles as one of the "Guest Attractions" alongside Mark Wynter, Mike Berry, David Jacobs, and Gerry and the Pacemakers. The lineup schedule lists the Beatles as playing third from last, behind Billy Fury and Cliff Richard. In very good condition, with creasing, soiling, and light staining throughout. The Beatles were second on the bill for the New Musical Express 1962-63 Annual Poll-Winners' All-Star Concert, held at the Empire Pool in Wembley, London. Topping the 14-act bill were Cliff Richard and The Shadow. The venue was filled with 10,000 people. The Beatles won no awards on this day, as the polling had taken place towards the end of 1962 and they were insufficiently known nationwide, but the NME made them the penultimate act of the day due to the success of their recent singles.
