While setting up their equipment to play, the Quarry Men's sometime
tea-chest bass player, Ivan Vaughan, introduced the band to one of his
classmates from Liverpool Institute, the 15-year-old Paul McCartney.
This historic occasion was the first time McCartney met John Lennon, two
years his senior. McCartney wore a white jacket with silver flecks, and
a pair of black drainpipe trousers.
The pair chatted for a few minutes, and McCartney showed Lennon how to
tune a guitar - previously Lennon and Griffiths had taken their
instruments to a man living in Kings Drive, Woolton, who tuned them for a
small fee. He also sang Eddie Cochran's Twenty Flight Rock and Gene
Vincent's Be-Bop-A-Lula, along with a medley of songs by Little Richard.
