BEATLES BIOGRAPHER HUNTER DAVIES EXAMINES
THE SKIFFLE GROUP THAT STARTED THE BEATLES IN NEW BOOK RELEASE: THE QUARRYMEN The Quarrymen is a classic rock book, made great by the author's understanding of the subject…recommended reading not just for Beatles fans, but for anyone who ever formed a band with dreams of stardom and ended up working in an unglamorous job just to put food on the table- BIRMINGHAM (UK) POST NEW YORK, NY -- The destiny of the Quarrymen seemed to be a small footnote to pop music's most famous success story. A Fifties skiffle group made up of John Lennon and five friends, the Quarrymen later took on board Paul McCartney and then George Harrison. The rest is history. But what happened to Lennon's original Quarrymen colleagues? The Quarrymen (Omnibus Press, $19.95) details the wildly divergent personal histories of the original Quarrymen. Written by Hunter Davies, author of the only authorized Beatles biography, The Quarrymen offers unique insight into the formative years of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and includes rare photos. Hunter Davies is an unrivaled commentator on The Beatles and the culture that surrounds them. The Quarrymen will be available in better book and record stores in late June, 2001.
