In March 1957 John Lennon, aged sixteen, formed a group
with several friends from Quarry Bank school. Fifteen-
year-old Paul McCartney joined as a rhythm guitarist
shortly after he and Lennon met in July. In February 1958

Lennon's friend Stu Sutcliffe, joined in January 1960, and he
suggested changing the band's name to Beatals as a tribute to
Buddy Holly and the Crickets. They used the name through May,
when they became the Silver Beetles. They used it for a while but
they changed their name to the Silver Beatles, and by the middle
of August to the Beatles.
