A letter dated 4th October 1963, sent to a (then 17 year old) Armagh girl from a friend. This brilliant snippet is about the Beatles coming to Belfast… The letter writer has probably kicked themselves more than once in the years since… (8 shillings and 6 pence = 42½p in 1963 or £12.00 today)
“Are you going to see the ‘Beatles’ when they come to Belfast, Edith is going but I do not think it is worth wasting 8/6 upon them; I think that is what the admission fee is.”
