50 years ago was the day that Paul McCartney went to a church fair to hear a group called the Quarrymen play. Later that day Paul would meet the front man, John Lennon.

how old were paul and john at the time ?

[Tom Strange]

I'm only guessing, but I think Paul was 14 and John a couple of years older... I think John was born in '40... is that right?

how old were paul and john at the time ?

John was born in 1940, and Paul in 1942.

And lest we should forget, it was Stuart Sutcliffe, the band's first bass player, who named the group and lent Sir Paul his Hofner President(violin bass) to use.
