The History of
Birkenhead Gang Show
Established inn 1961, The Birkenhead Gang Show has provided yearly entertainment. Our production is a creative and fun platform children and adults alike to take the stage and perform.
Birkenhead Gang Show Timeline
The first Birkenhead District Gang Show was produced by Don Coughtrie in the Assembly Hall of Birkenhead Technical College on Borough Road, with a cast of 98. Don had previously produced several successful 23rd Birkenhead Group shoes at the Birkenhead Institute.

The show moved to the Plaza Cinema in Borough Road, literally just next to the Technical College. After the Saturday night film performance the screen was carefully removed and the stage was then prepared for the Monday nights opening performance of the Gang Show.
1963
'Mr Gang Show' himself, Ralph Reader teh creator of the Gang Show made his first visit to Birkenhead.
1965
The Birkenhead show was assessed for National approval. We were successful and to this day have been allowed to wear the coveted 'Red Scarf' with its distinctive insignia. We wear it with pride.
