From Beatles Bible:
On 7 March 1962 The Beatles recorded their radio debut at the Playhouse Theatre, Hulme, Manchester.
The recording was for the show Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go. The band rehearsed their set from 3.45pm.
In the evening, wearing suits for the very first time, The Beatles performed three cover versions: Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream?), Memphis, Tennessee and Please Mister Postman. Together with the other three acts also appearing on the programme, the recording took place between 8 and 8.45pm.
The show was broadcasted on the BBC Light Programme the following day between 5 and 5.30pm.
This was the 1st concert played at Playhouse Theatre.

Thanks Lilo. I'm not expert in the BBC Radio archives, and I've shied away from precisely documenting those, as it's a hell of a project ! But I will come to it, one day :)
