The Quarrymen were formed in the late 1950s in Liverpool, England. A founding member was John Lennon, who would soon draft the talents of Paul McCartney and George Harrison. These three would take the Quarrymen through numerous name changes until they settled on the name The Beatles, by which they would become known worldwide in 1964.
In the 1990s, the remaining founding members of The Quarrymen reunited and have performed on occasion since then, also releasing three albums.
