Summer Learning Journey Day 2 :Peace out! (The 1960's)

Rock 'n' roll



Famous bands like the Beatles also started traveling all  across the world in 1964, New Zealand hosted, arguably the most popular band of time... The  BEATLES.

People were very excited to see  'The Beatles' and the  hype around the band was known as Beatle-Mania ( quite similar to the modern day Beiber -Fever.)


The Beatles first stop was Wellington. Seven thousand screaming fans (like all the people in  NZ came to see the first concert in Wellington) nearly all  young women waited as the band touched down on 21st June 1964. One girl got hurt badly on her leg trying to climb a wire fence, and two others were through the fence because of pushing from behind. A team of 30 police officers, some in plain clothes, was on hand. Bill Brien, in charge of the operation, later said that: 
"We underestimated the whole thing badly. The crowd was so big  we had to... keep all people behind a wire fence. At one stage it looked like the fence would collapse, which would have been a disaster."

As the band off the plane, the shrieks of fans drowned out of the noise of the engines. Te Pataka concert party performed a haka,  before doing a hongi (pressing noses) and presenting the band members with tiki. 


Fans  trekked back to The Beatles' hotel after the concert. The band was stuck inside as the gathered outside. Some kept up late-night vigil on the hill behind the hotel.  Others tried to get round the script security; four girls strolled onto the sixth floor into the arms of  Ringo Starr (formerly Starkey) met a group of Starkey's from the Wellington  suburb of Karori.
