On 28 September 1962, The Beatles performed for the third (and last) time aboard the Royal Iris.
The boat left Liverpool Pier Head at
In total the Beatles played a River Boat Shuffle 3 times on the Royal Iris. Appearing with them on this occassion were Lee Castle & The Barons, and Freddy (the Teddy) Fowell, who became better known as Freddie Starr. I guess he must have found some inspiration in Ringo's surname.
Price for a ticket was five shillings.
At a Liverpool Beatles auction an unused ticket was estimated to fetch £1,200
