		It was at this point that Eric Griffiths was seconded from the BBC to the EBU Technical Centre in Brussels, to organise the planning and co-ordination of the now almost daily Eurovision transmissions (mostly sports events and news items).
		Eric was well suited to this pioneering work, having the ideal combination of forcefulness and charm required to persuade the somewhat inflexible national telecommunication authorities to co-operate in the Eurovision venture.
		In 1961/1962, Eric organised every detail of the new technical facilities that were installed in the Palais de Justice, replacing the existing limited facilities by a purpose-built "Eurovision Control centre" or EVC.

	Eric Tribute
		Eric used to tell a story about how once John was considering starting another group but without Paul, but Eric persuaded him that this was not a good idea as Paul was such an asset to the Quarrymen.
		Eric was notorious for his serious demeanour on stage, which masked a man with a great sense of fun and a wide knowledge of music.
		Eric was buried on a hillside in Scotland on Monday 7 February on a sunny but chilly afternoon, surrounded by his friends and family after a secular service which celebrated his life.

		Of the numerous fellows who drifted in and out of the Quarry Men in the late 1950s, guitarist Eric Griffiths was one of the lesser known, although he did manage to stay in the band through much of 1958.

		The volume has a peculiar hundred-page introduction, written by Eric Griffiths, who (the volume tells us) ‘learned Italian in the house of a parish priest not far from Ferrara’.
		Griffiths has read Dante in Italian, then, and has been able to take the full measure of the poet’s greatness in the original (beside which all translations pale depressingly).

	Rod Davis - Biography - AOL Music
		He was invited to join the group by guitarist Eric Griffiths, who like Quarry Men leader John Lennon was a student at the Quarry Bank High School for Boys.
		Davis was head boy at the school, in fact, and it's interesting that he and Lennon, who was documented as a poor student and troublemaker, would engage even briefly in the same endeavor.
		He also played with ex-Quarry Men Rod Davis, Eric Griffiths, Pete Shotton, and Colin Hanton on the 40th anniversary of the Quarry Men gig at which John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met.

	An Interview With Rod Davis of The Quarrymen
		I knew Lennon Shotton and Eric Griffiths very well because Quarry Bank was divided into 'houses' and although I wasn't in the same class we were in the same house.
		Eric used to shout out to me which chords to play and eventually some musical talent somewhere took over and I could do it.
		The idea of Paul showing John things on Eric's guitar is difficult as that even if he picked up Eric's guitar and retuned it the problem is he couldn't have played anything on it as you were either left handed or right handed.
