The Quarrymen - The Band that started The Beatles (Special NTSC-Version)

The Quarrymen - The Band that started The Beatles (Special NTSC-Version)

The authorized music-documentary about The Quarrymen (pre-Beatles) is now available at amazon.com as NTSC-version.

It´s the fascinating story of the early days of the most famous music group of all time! Presented by Horst Fascher, founder of the legendary Hamburg "Star-Club" in Germany, where The Beatles became The Beatles. Featured in the film are live footage of a modern-day concert by The Quarrymen - The Band that started The Beatles (recorded in the German Baltic coast resort of Dahme), detailed interviews with Colin Hanton, Len Garry and Rod Davis, three original members of the "Pre-Beatles" (John Lennon's 1950s group to which Paul McCartney and George Harrison both belonged), their first new single after 50 years and much more...65 min. - NTSC.

John Lennon's Original Quarrymen - the band who were on stage with him on Saturday July 6th, 1957 (the day John Lennon met Paul McCartney) - got back together to celebrate the most momentous meeting in pop music history. They enjoyed themselves so much at that reunion and interest from fans was so great that they decided to re-form the group!
The current Quarrymen lineup includes the original members Len Garry, former tea-chest bass player, Rod Davis, from Quarry Bank School, at first the banjo player but now on guitar and Colin Hanton on drums, who played with John, Paul, George and John Duff Lowe on the famous Percy Phillips recording session (1958) which produced "In Spite of All the Danger" and "That'll Be the Day" which was featured on the Beatles' "Anthology, Volume 1" CD set.
Anyone knowing their Beatles' history is aware that The Quarrymen eventually evolved into the Beatles. It is precisely their stories of the group's origins and of course the Skiffle and early Rock music that the Quarrymen perform, that draw to their shows not only Beatles' fans, but all those who enjoy the history of the music and of the times.
