The Quarrymen
From Beatles Wiki - Interviews, Music, Beatles Quotes
| “ | The other expression I had ... was 'It will turn up all right in the end.' I used to say that to my friend Pete who was in the Quarrymen, which is the name of the group before it turned into the Beatles — before Paul was in it. ... The original group was named after my school, which was Quarry Bank, and had a Latin motto which meant 'out of this rock' — that's symbolic, isn't it? — 'you will find truth.' | „ |

| “ | This was the original Quarrymen. John was playing ukulele chords taught to him by his mum and he was singing Come Go with Me, by the Del Vikings, but he was making up his own words, because nobody knew the words in those days; nobody had the record: We'd only heard it on the radio and loved it. I met John that day. I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition. | „ |
