John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957. Paul later introduced George Harrison to John on February 6, 1958.
Mostly skiffle and bluesy type stuff.
In 1957, 16-year-old John Lennon met 14-year-old John Lennon while performing with different groups at a church event in Leverpool, England.
They met in July 1957 and began writing together soon after. Paul was 15 and John was 16.
Paul McCartney's career with the Beatles began when he was 15, in 1957. He met John Lennon and "The Quarrymen" at a St. Peter's Church Hall fair in Woolton, held on July 6, 1957.
On July 6, 1957, teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney met at a church garden fete at St. Peter's in Liverpool, England. John was there with his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Paul played Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock," which impressed John and prompted him to invite Paul to join his group.
In 1952, John Lennon met Paul McCartney at a church fete in Liverpool. They were introduced by a mutual friend, and Lennon was impressed by McCartney's guitar skills and musical knowledge. This meeting marked the beginning of their iconic partnership, which would eventually lead to the formation of The Beatles. Their collaboration would go on to shape the course of music history.
they met while john Lennon was at a local gig with his skiffle band the quarry men
No they never went to school together. They met at this church music thing where the quarrymen were playing and Paul saw John there. Then Paul introduced George to John.( George and Paul met at school)
John Lennon was playing with his band The Quarry Men when Paul McCartney was introduced to him by Ivan Vaughn.
For a while. they rode the same school bus. I think they knew each other before July 6th, the day Paul and John met. After I asked, I found on Paul's page that he met George in 1954 and John in 1957. Three years! Kind of explains why he got more and more upset with Paul working so much on his own songs and on John's songs and not much time working on George's songs at all.
Lennon apparently never met Donegan, though the Quarry Men did perform "Rock Island Line" and other songs from his repertoire. Paul McCartney got to see Donegan perform at a lunchtime show, when Donegan came to Liverpool.
