Description

The Quarry Men performed at the Casbah Coffee Club in Liverpool. Ken Brown was unable to play because of a severe cold. After the concert, a dispute arose over the division of the fee because Paul McCartney said Brown should not receive a share if he had not performed. Lennon and Harrison sided with McCartney, and Brown subsequently left the group.

    The Quarry Men, consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ken Brown, performed in front of approximately 300 teenagers at the grand opening of the Casbah Coffee Club in the basement of Mona Best's house in Liverpool. It was the first of seven consecutive Saturdays on which The Quarry Men performed there. The group still had no drummer and used a single microphone connected to a home sound system. Pete Best did not play that night, but the performance brought him into the band's inner circle, and exactly one year later he became the group's permanent drummer. The group was supposed to receive 15 shillings for each performance.

    The Quarry Men vystoupili poprvé v Cavern Clubu v Liverpoolu bez Paula McCartneyho, který byl na skautském táboře. Klub byl tehdy především jazzovým podnikem. Během skifflového vystoupení John Lennon zahrál rock'n'rollové skladby a po několika písních byli The Quarry Men vyzváni, aby přestali hrát rock.
