Ringo gives up the day job, while the Silver Beetles find another drummer, fail a major audition, but still end up going on their first tour.

Before They Were Beatles - Episode 13 - First Tour

==========

This is the story of how one of the thousands of amateur British schoolboy skiffle bands in the mid-1950s evolved into the beginnings of the greatest band in popular history. It’s a story of hope, creativity, and exploring musical boundaries. It’s also a story of tragedy, coincidence, and at times just sheer luck.

It is a story of beginnings, the story of John, Paul, George, and Ringo - Before They Were Beatles.
