The four Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
Georges Harrison and Ringo Starr – were all born
in Liverpool. John, Paul and Georges knew each
other at school and played together in a band
called The Quarrymen in 1959. They were in their
late teens. Ringo Starr didn’t join the group until
1962, after Stuart Sutcliffe, “the fifth Beatle”, died.
John, Georges and Paul played rhythm, lead and
bass guitars. Ringo played the drums. The Beatles
started their carrer at the Cavern Club in Liverpol.
They first appeared there without Ringo on 21st
February 1961. On 9th November Brian Epstein, a
local record shop owner, saw the Beatles at a
lunchtime session. He met them and a month later
he became their manager. Brian Epstein gave the
Beatles a new image – the famous Beatles suits
and Beatles haircut. In 1963 the group had their
first Number 1 hit record in the UK charts with their
single, Please Please Me. They gave their first US
concert on 11th February 1964. By April 1964 The
Beatles were top of the UK singles and album
charts and they held the top five places in the US
charts. The next two years were the high point of
Beatlemania. Girls screamed and wept when they
went to Beatles’ concerts. Everybody bought their
records. By 1966 The Beatles had eight more
number 1 hit singles and five Number 1 albums.
