Sam Leach, a dance promoter, arranged a 12-hour, 12-group session at Liverpool Jazz institute, starting at 8:00 PM on March 11 and ending at 8:00 AM March 12. To get in members of the Liverpool Jazz Society paid 6s 6d, but non-members paid 7s 6d. Even though the capacity was 1000, at least 2000 people saw the bands perform. Leach would hold many similar marathons, often with The Beatles as the headliners.
