The Quarrymen - The Beatles
The Quarrymen - The Beatles
The Quarrymen were founded by John Lennon at the Quarry Bank School in Liverpool in March or April 1957.
Their sound was skiffle, a highly animated, heavily rhythmic variation American folk and country music.
On July 6, 1957, Paul McCartney showed up at the Woolton Church Fete where the Quarrymen were playing and subsequently met John Lennon backstage. Legend has it that he showed John how to play a song called Twenty Flight Rock. John could see that Paul was a good guitarist and singer and that he was probably more seasoned than anyone else in the band.
In July McCartney? joined as a singer-guitarist, and this line-up was stable for approximately six months. Quarrymen played local youth clubs and dances, picking up a small following around Liverpool and a little money in the bargain. And in February in 1958, George Harrison, all of 14 years old who'd been playing with his brother Peter in a skiffle band called the Rebels (who played exactly one official gig) joined on guitar and vocals.

More Quarrymen / Early Beatles
This is a little mash up of the 30 seconds from THE fete, and 1960 version of One After 909, ( spooky ), and a passable jam session. One thing though, I am now more sure than ever that the 1960 tapes are not all from the one place, there are 2 different styles, one is virtually music lesson learning mode, and others are far more accomplished ( in comparison ). I think the blues/rock jam is Hambug 60, but that's just my opinion.

Members of the original Quarrymen(John Lennon's former band) on stage at The Woolton Music Festival, Liverpool on July 6th,2007, 50 years after Lennon met McCartney at St.Peter's Church Fete.
Here Colin Hanton, drummer, tells stories of the bands early years and how they made their first record.
Other members of the band are Len Garry(lead vocals),Rod Davis(guitar & vocals), John Lowe (Keyboard), Jane Ennenko(tea-chest bass),looks too young to be an original member, and another guy on guitar at the back(apologies, don't know his name).
Hope I got the facts right.
