(The photographer gives the location as ‘Piper Dance Club’ in Italy, but I can’t find any evidence the Beatles played there).

“I went backstage and was met by Brian Epstein, who told me they had gone back to the hotel and would I go there. I was told The Beatles refused to see me. I thought this graceless in the extreme, but decided to play it with firmness and dignity. I told Wendy [Hanson, Epstein's assistant] to go and fetch me one of them and she finally reappeared with Paul McCartney. The poor boy was quite amiable and I sent messages of congratulations to his colleagues, although the message I would have liked to have sent them was that they were bad-mannered little shits.”

[Noel Coward, on meeting the Beatles, or more specifically, Paul, on the 27th June 1965, following their shows at  Teatro Adriano in Rome.]
