His mother Julia only got to see him perform onstage once; he sang "Be-Bop-A-Lula" with his first band, the Quarry Men. His father wasn't around, and his Uncle George had already passed away.

His Aunt Mimi definitely wasn't supportive of his becoming a musician, telling him again and again "The guitar's all very well, John, but you'll never make a living at it." After The Beatles became famous, he presented her with a silver platter, engraved with those words.

Mimi later claimed to have bought Lennon his first guitar, though he always insisted it was a gift from his mother.
