October 10, 1959 Casbah Coffee Club, Liverpool, ENG

The Quarrymen's Saturday night residency at Mona Best's Casbah Coffee Club came to an end on this evening. With their preceding six appearances, the Quarrymen had proved such a draw that Best hired a doorman to control the crowds. At this time, the group had four members, each of whom played the guitar: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ken Brown.

This night Ken Brown turned up with a heavy cold and couldn't play. After the performance Mona gave 15 shillings to each of them, including Ken. John, Paul and George didn't like that. They wanted the full £3 for themselves as Ken hadn't played. So Ken quit there and then.
