Members Of The Beatles

Members of the Beatles, and their biographies, stretches back to early 1957 when John Lennon formed the Quarrymen (named after his Quarrybank School). On July 7th 1957, Ivan Vaughn, a mutual friend of John Lennon’s and Paul McCartney’s, brought them together at the Woolton Village Fete and the rest, as they say, is history. John invited Paul to join the band (according to Paul “Because I knew all the words to Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock”…and Paul brought his younger but musically superior friend George Harrison (George could read music, John & Paul could not…but boy could they write!) and in the summer of 1962 Ringo replaced Pete Best as the Beatles drummer. This was the line up for the band until they broke up at the end of 1969.

Along this timeline there are many other important people that helped (or sometimes hindered) the Beatles historical progression like: Brian Epstein, George Martin, Allen Klein, Stu Sutcliffe, Pete Best, Tony Sheridan, Dick James, Pattie Boyd, Cynthia Lennon, Jane Asher, Maureen Cox, Linda McCartney, Derek Taylor, Mal Evans and many more. In this section you’ll get biographical background on each of these members of the Beatles, their entourage and wives and girlfriends.
