I did not want to be on Abersoch Pier in April 1963. The Beatles had released 'From Me to You' that same week and I had to be where the action was, i.e. girls. My first girlfriend, Susan Shaw, had told me about The Beatles the previous Autumn. By the Spring of 1963 I had a new girlfriend: Liz Evans from Beech Walk in Leigh, which was the main thing demanding my attention at Easter 1963, not Abersoch Pier. By the autumn my girlfriend was Susan Bell of Beechwood, Chorley New Road, Bolton.

To be exact, 'From Me to You' was released on 11th April, 1963. In Abersoch, Easter Sunday was 14th April.
