1959 is an important year for the group, as, after only a few appearances, they have no more bookings, and George Harrison joins another group, the Les Stewart Quartet. It could have been the end of the road for John, Paul and George, but a twist of fate sees them open The Casbah Coffee Club.

29th August 1959 – The Quarrymen open The Casbah

26th October 1959 – Johnny and the Moondogs

December 1959 – Rod Murray and Stuart Sutcliffe are invited to join the group
