How did the Beatles start?

Answer 1

Briefly... John Lennon's group while he was at school and after was The Quarrymen (named after Quarry Bank School). One day when the Quarrymen were playing a Village fete John met Paul McCartney who impressed him with his guitar playing skills and the fact he knew all the lyrics to 'Twenty Flight Rock'. Shortly after Paul was invited to join the group.

George Harrison caught the same bus to school with Paul McCartney. Noticing one day that he had a guitar they struck up a conversation and soon became friends. Paul wanted George to join the Quarrymen but John was reluctant as George was a few years younger than them. George finally convinced him by playing 'Raunchy' on the top deck of a Liverpool bus (making John a captive audience).

The group then went through several name changes - Johnny and The Moondogs, The Silver Beetles, - and grew in popularity in the local Liverpool area. When a German man came looking for groups to sign up to play in Hamburg, Germany, The Beatles were selected. Having no drummer at the time, they recruited Pete Best and went to Hamburg.

It was actually in Hamburg where the Beatles first met Ringo Starr who was over there too playing with Rory and The Hurricanes, but it wasn't until 1963 that he officially joined The Beatles after Pete Best was sacked.

Like many bands, they got together as a group of kids from the same area with a common interest, usually playing at school dances and church functions.

In 1959, as the Quarry Men, they started playing at the Casbah Club in Liverpool which was run by Pete Best's mother.

In 1960, as the Beatles, and with Pete Best as drummer, the played at the Indra Club in Hamburg for 48 nights, then at the Kaiserkeller for a further 58 nights.

On their return to Liverpool, they play at the Cavern Club, followed by a return to Hamburg at the Top Ten Club, then back to the Cavern Club which is where Brian Epstein sees the Beatles for the first time, and the rest is history.

John Lennon was in a band called the quarrey men, when he was around 15 and was playing one day when Paul McCartney was listening. Paul got to meet John and played for him a little bit, and John liked his sound. After playing together for a while Paul told john of a good friend of his that he'd known since grade school named George Harrison. The three of them hit it off, playing together really well.

They had a drummer named Pete Best, although they had heard Richard Starkey (or Ringo) playing, and would substitute for Pete at times. they asked Ringo later if he wanted to join their group "The Silver Beatles", (which of course soon after that got changed to the beatles" and he gladly accepted.

Paul and George were school friends. George took Paul to one of John's shows, and they began to play together. They had a few drummers before Ringo, such as Pete Best, and they finally met Ringo in Hamburg, Germany.
The Beatles started as a "school" band; John Lennon formed the Quarrymen. Shortly after their first performance at a church fete, Paul joined the band and a few months after that, George joined. Like many school bands, they played at friend's parties and also at the art college that Lennon (and co-member, Stuart Sutcliffe) attended. They also played at some clubs around Liverpool.

Their big improvement came when the visited Hamburg and played in the Reeperbahn; when they returned to Liverpool they had improved enormously and they were soon established as the best band in Liverpool. At that point, they came to the notice of Brian Epstein, who became their manager. Through Epstein's hard work and some luck, the Beatles became very professional and successful.

Answer 3

John Lennon was in a group called the Quarrymen, and later asked Paul McCartney to join seeing as he could tune a guitar and play. Later, Paul brought George and John accepted him. After a few replacements, Ringo Starr(real name Richard Starkey) became the drummer.
