It may be nothing but a car park now, but the nondescript white building on Middle Abbey Street on Dublin's north side was once Ireland's premier art deco movie and live music palace. It was a place abuzz with glamour and entertainment - and, on one particular night, the scene of riots, mania, and a singular music event the likes of which our Fair City will never see again. It was called the Adelphi, and the night in question was November 7th, 1963 - the night the Beatles came to town.
