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.
