The Quarrymen – In 1956, John Lennon recruited five of his closest friends to join him in a skiffle and rock ‘n’ roll group called The Quarrymen. Today, the surviving members of “The Band that Became The Beatles” continue to perform for audiences around the world.

Sneak Preview of “Nowhere Boy” – An upcoming new feature film that depicts the events and personal circumstances that led to the formation of the Beatles—and the underlying family currents that shaped and molded the creative and inspirational qualities of John Lennon.
