Saturday, July 6, 1957: Woolton Church Fete, Liverpool, England. Little did anyone know, but this afternoon’s performance by a group called The Quarrymen headed by a 16 year old John Lennon would be the catalyst that would shake the world forever. After the performance, a mutual friend Ivan Vaughan introduced John to a 15 year old Paul McCartney and the magic began. To think of all the music and love The Beatles gave to the world all started 55 years ago today.
