Having performed at the Grosvenor Ballroom on each consecutive Saturday since 4 June 1960, The Silver Beetles' residency finished after this performance.

The violent crowds that attended the venue each weekend had become such a problem that local residents complained to the Wallasey Corporation, the owners of the ballroom. Council officials cancelled promoter Les Dodd's future rock 'n' roll dates and ordered him to reintroduce the more sedate 'strict tempo' dances.

The Grosvenor Ballroom did host more live rock 'n' roll towards the end of 1960, but these events were organised by the Corporation itself, without the involvement of Dodd and his Paramount Enterprises promotions organisation.
