Tuesday 5 June 1962

Tomorrow is the big day: not only will the Beatles record their first songs for EMI (and will they meet George Martin for the first time) but they will also do an audition.

They are taking no chances so Brian Epstein decided that they should travel already to London on the 5th of June, even though the audition only starts at 7pm on the next day.

So today they drive down from Liverpool to London, where their career will take off very soon.
