Liverpool promoter Brian Kelly, known as Beekay, ran a number of Liverpool venues including Litherland Town Hall, Alexandra Hall and the Aintree Institute. He was so impressed with the group, that he booked them for a dance a week later, on 21 May, when they were to headline over King Size Taylor. However, four days later Larry Parnes offered them a tour of Scotland as the backing group for singer Johnny Gentle.

The Silver Beetles failed to tell Kelly, who advertised their expected performance and had to deal with disappointed fans on the night. As a result they received no more bookings from Kelly for several months, until Bob Wooler convinced him to change his mind.
