The odds are extraordinarily high that, under ordinary circumstances, the Quarrymen (or Quarry Men--no two sources agree on the spelling) would have been forgotten decades ago, along with thousands of other skiffle bands that sprang up throughout England in the middle/late-1950's. As it worked out, however, they proved one of the great sources of talent in the history of popular music, having been founded by John Lennon, and Paul McCartney and George Harrison having passed through their line-up.
With a lapse of about six months, the Quarrymen essentially evolved into the Beatles. The Quarrymen were founded by John Lennon at the Quarry Bank School in Liverpool in the middle of 1957.
