1957 – The Quarry Men perform at a Garden Fete held at St. Peter’s Church, Woolton, Liverpool. After an outside performance on a makeshift stage in a field behind the church, The Quarry Men begin setting up their instruments in the church hall for an evening dance; they are scheduled to play alternating sets with the George Edwards Band. A 15-year-old friend of Ivan Vaughan, Paul McCartney, had arrived during the afternoon performance, and he had been impressed with John Lennon‘s stage presence. Paul is introduced to John by Ivan as The Quarry Men are setting up for their evening performance. John is a bit drunk. Paul, eager to impress John, picks up a guitar and plays versions of the recent hits “Twenty Flight Rock” (Eddie Cochran) and “Be-Bop-A-Lula” (Gene Vincent). John is indeed impressed, and even more so when Paul writes down the lyrics for him, which John has trouble remembering. Paul then shows John and Eric Griffiths how to tune their guitars, something they’d been paying someone else to do for them. John recognizes Paul’s talent right away wanting him to join The Quarry Men. Some sources state that the songs Paul played this day were “Long Tall Sally” and “Tutti Frutti.” The Quarrymen are recorded by Bob Molyneux using a reel-to-reel tape recorder belonging to his father at the evening dance of the Woolton Garden Fete, St. Peter’s Church, Woolton, Liverpool, England. This tape recorder is on display at the John Lennon Exhibit, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Cleveland, Ohio.

1961 – John Lennon’s short story entitled, “Being a Short Diversion On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles” is published in the first issue of Bill Harry’s Liverpool music newspaper “Mersey Beat.” In the piece, written in the style that will later bring Lennon world-wide literary fame, he attributes the naming of The Beatles to a mysterious man on a flaming pie.

1962 – The Beatles perform on board MV ‘Royal Iris’ on the River Mersey. Another “Riverboat Shuffle” put on by the Cavern Club, Liverpool. Once again, they share the bill with Acker Bilk, whose single “Stranger On The Shore” remains in the Top Ten six months after its release. Sometime that evening, Bilk gives each of The Beatles (John, Paul, George, and Pete) a black bowler hat, his trademark.
