On this day 69 years ago, a 15-year old Paul McCartney made his first public appearance with John Lennon and the Quarrymen.
The group performed at a Conservative Club social held in New Clubmoor Hall, Norris Green, three months after Paul and John first met at St Peter’s Church fête.
Paul was introduced as the Quarrymen’s new member and given a solo spot on “Guitar Boogie”. The musical partnership with John had taken its first public step.

9 October 1940. John Winston Lennon was born in Liverpool. He was the founder of The Beatles. His songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in pop music history. In a 2002 BBC viewer poll he was ranked the 8th “Greatest Briton” of all time.

26 September 1969. The Beatles released Abbey Road in the UK. It was the final album the band recorded. The album was recorded on an advanced 8-track recording system. It’s praised as their most polished and expertly engineered work. It’s also the group’s best-selling album.

On this day 64 years ago, Ringo Starr entered EMI Studios for his first recording session as a member of the Beatles 🌟
Only weeks after joining the group, Ringo played drums as John, Paul and George worked on “How Do You Do It?” and their own composition, “Love Me Do” 🥁
George Martin had considered “How Do You Do It?” for their first single, but the Beatles were determined to release one of their own songs. Their persistence paid off: the version of “Love Me Do” recorded with Ringo that day appeared on the earliest pressings of their debut single ✨
It was an important first step for the new four-piece line-up, and the beginning of the Beatles’ recording career as we know it 🎙️🎸🎶 – at Liverpool, England

On August 18, 1962, Ringo Starr took the stage with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison for his very first official performance as the permanent drummer of The Beatles at Hulme Hall in Port Sunlight, Birkenhead. Stepping behind the drum kit at the Port Sunlight Horticultural Society dance just two days after Pete Best's dismissal, Ringo locked into the rhythm that would change popular culture forever. Where do you rank Ringo Starr among the all-time rock drummers?👇️

8 August 1969. Photographer Iain Macmillan took the iconic album cover photo of Abbey Road by The Beatles. The image became one of the most famous and imitated in popular music. Abbey Road is the best selling Beatles album and it was the last one the group recorded together.

One giant leap for mankind
History was made on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first to set foot on the Moon.
For more than 5 decades, the total number of moonwalkers has remained at 12. NASA will change that with Artemis IV.

Missing my friend @JimMorrison a little bit extra today.
People often focus on the myth, but I remember the guy sitting across from me in a rehearsal room, chasing words and ideas with the same intensity that he brought to the stage.
