A Salvation Army Childrens home in Woolton, Liverpool, were John Lennon used to play, (in the grounds), as a child.
George: As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
In the Beatles he played rhythm guitar and George Harrison played lead guitar.
John Lennon was given a harmonica by his uncle George when he was a child, and after his uncle's death began to teach himself. Having played harmonica through early Beatles gigs, John developed his technique in 1962 when the Beatles were on tour with Bruce Channel, and Bruce's harmonica player Delbert McClinton's gave John some tips which influenced John's playing on the Beatles' debut single 'Love Me Do'.
John Lennon began his music career by founding his band The Quarrymen in the late '50s. After a few members left(Pete Best and Stucliff) and joined the band(Richard Starkey, A.K.A. Ringo Starr), John made a few changes to the band's name. Eventually, the name Beatles came to mind, and it stuck.

Declined invitationsThe Beatles/John Lennon: woodstockstories.com presents two scenarios as to why The Beatles did not perform. The first is that promoters contacted John Lennon to discuss a Beatles performance at Woodstock, and Lennon said that the Beatles would not play unless there was also a spot at the festival for Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band, whereupon he was turned down. [26][unreliable source?] The website claims the more likely explanation is that Lennon wanted to play but his entry into the United States from Canada was blocked by President Nixon.[27][28][unreliable source?] The Beatles were in any case on the verge of breaking up. Also, they had not performed any live concerts since August 1966, three full years before the festival (not including their impromptu rooftop concert given on January 30, 1969 a few months before).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock#Free_concert
