It was 65 years ago today …

July 6, 1957
It was on this date

that the 16 year old John Lennon met the 15 year old Paul McCartney for the first time.

In the afternoon, John Lennon’s band the Quarrymen were playing at the garden fete of St Peter’s Church, Woolton, Liverpool and Paul McCartney heard them. McCartney impressed Lennon when he showed John and Eric Griffiths how to tune their guitars, something they’d been paying someone else to do for them.
