Picture Yourself: John Lennon's Life & Music in Pictures and Video

John Lennon's band The Quarrymen (inspired by the name of Quarry Bank High school), were playing in St. Peter's Church field as part of the annual Woolton Fete (Liverpool) on Saturday, 6th July, 1957. In the audience was Paul McCartney, who had come along just to watch the band. Lennon and McCartney later talked to each other about music, before the Quarrymen performed a second show in the Church Hall that evening. Paul McCartney recalled: 'There was a guy up on the stage wearing a checked shirt, looking pretty good singing a song I loved, the Del-Vikings' Come Go With Me. He was filling in with blues lines, I thought that was good, and he was singing well.' John Lennon recalled: 'That was the day, the day I met Paul, that it started moving.'
