Blokker consists of two parts : Westerblokker in the municipality of Hoorn , and Oosterblokker in Drechterland . Until 1979 , Blokker was a separate municipality . The village was one of the locations of the only three concerts on Dutch soil by The Beatles , during their 1964 world tour . That they played in Blokker was due to Ben Essing , the son of the mayor . Essing had also managed to get other acts to play in the Blokker auction hall , and organized a " Dutch Teener Fest " in 1964 and 1965 , which made international headlines
