54 years ago today, a most magical moment happened at a small church in Liverpool that forever changed the world. It was the day two teenagers met –  John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They were introduced by a mutual friend Ivan Vaughan at the Church fete where John’s group The Quarrymen were playing. A seismic alert went around the world so huge, it can still be felt today! We are so grateful to have had The Quarrymen to our FESTS a number of times over the years to fill in the gaps of how that moment went down. Books have been written, paintings have been commissioned, but make no mistake, it was one of the most significant moments of the 20th century. We just didn’t know about it until well after The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, almost 7 years later. Shown is a recently found photo from that day. It was taken by band member Rod Davis’s dad.
