I am a new member of The Beatles Bible. I was a close friend of the late John Lennon during the 12 years of schooling we shared in Liverpool and beyond until we both left Liverpool at the age of 22 to follow our career paths. I was born 10 days before John and we met at the age of 5 at Dovedale Road County Primary School which we attended, in the same class, for 7 years. We went on together to Quarry bank High School for Boys for another 5 years. We were especially close friends in our mid-teens and it was at my house that John had most of his early exposure to pop music and especially to rock’n’ roll. I had the records whereas he didn’t even have a record player at his home. He gave me the credit for his decision at the age of 15 to become a musician after he experienced a life-changing pivotal moment at my house during one school lunch break. I put all my precious memories of John in my highly acclaimed book ‘John Lennon ; The Boy Who Became A Legend’. Details from the website johnlennonlegend.com from where a copy can be ordered. The book is only sold on line. Oh and all references in The Beatles Bible to The Quarrymen are wrong. John’s group was The Quarry Men as printed on their business cards, drum kit and the plaque on the wall of St Peter’s Church in Woolton commemorating the historic first meeting there in 1957 of Lennon and McCartney. But there were sometimes mis-spellings as The Quarrymen in concert ads probably placed over the phone.The group reformed by Rod Davis in 1997 on the 40th anniversary of the first Quarry Men concert in July 1957 was called The Quarrymen.
