John Lennon in the Casbah Club

When Pete Best's mother converted the basement of her large Victorian house into the Casbah Coffee Club, the Quarry Men played the opening night in August 1959 and throughout the second half of the year. In December, having returned from Hamburg, they played the Casbah for the first time as the Beatles.
