The American folk rock band the Lovin' Spoonful staged a two-week promotional tour of England, Sweden and Ireland in April{{nbsp}}1966. In addition to performing four concerts in England, the band made numerous appearances on British television and radio, performed on Swedish television and held a private concert in Ireland for the twenty-first birthday of the London-based Irish-socialite Tara Browne.
Background
By April{{nbsp}}1966, the Lovin' Spoonful's first three singles had each reached the top ten in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.{{cite web |title=The Lovin' Spoonful Chart History (Hot 100) |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-lovin-spoonful/chart-history/hsi/ |website=Billboard |access-date=March 11, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121215619/https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-lovin-spoonful/chart-history/hsi/ |archive-date=November 21, 2022 |url-status=live}} Despite their success in America, the band remained generally unknown in the United Kingdom,{{sfn|Boone|Moss|2014|p=112}} and none of their singles had yet charted in the country. To expand the band's popularity to an international audience, their management organized several concert and television appearances in England and Sweden for that April.{{sfn|Boone|Moss|2014|p=112}} Pye International Records, which had acquired U.K. release rights for all Kama Sutra products,{{cite magazine|author=Anon.|title=Kama-Sutra, Pye Contract|date=October 2, 1965|magazine=Billboard|page=10|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ISkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA10|via=Google Books}} issued "Daydream" as a single on April 1.{{cite magazine|author=Anon.|title=All want to record a Beatle song|newspaper=Herald Express|date=April 1, 1966|page=7|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/121236403/all-want-to-record-a-beatle-song/|via=Newspapers.com}}
The Lovin' Spoonful were apprehensive about visiting England.{{sfn|Boone|Moss|2014|p=115}} Few American bands had succeeded in becoming popular in the U.K., and they were mindful of the negative reaction afforded to the American folk rock band the Byrds from both critics and fans alike after their U.K. tour in August{{nbsp}}1965.{{sfn|Boone|Moss|2014|p=115}}{{sfn|Hjort|2008|pp=50, 62}}
