	The Quarrymen - Biography - AOL Music
		The odds are extraordinarily high that, under ordinary circumstances, the Quarrymen (or Quarry Men--no two sources agree on the spelling) would have been forgotten decades ago, along with thousands of other skiffle bands that sprang up throughout England in the middle/late-1950's.
		As it worked out, however, they proved one of the great sources of talent in the history of popular music, having been founded by John Lennon, and Paul McCartney and George Harrison having passed through their line-up.
		The Quarrymen were founded by John Lennon at the Quarry Bank School in Liverpool in the middle of 1957.

		The two quarry men who are looking after us drill two large holes in the ground and we fit the base of the seismograph to these holes using two metal poles rammed in.
		The quarry men set up a charge some distance from the instrument and we huddle far off at the end of the wire detonator.
		Then we question the quarry men as to how they are setting up the charge and they tell us that they laid the dynamite on the rock surface rather than into a hole into the rock.

	Methodist Chapel, Headington Quarry
		The Quarry Methodists were the first nonconformists in the whole of Headington to build their own place of worship.
		James Coppock was the man who brought Methodism to Quarry, and when he died in November 1863 he was buried in the narrow piece of ground behind the wall shown in the above picture.
		The blocking of the old funeral path from Quarry to St Andrew's Church by Joseph Lock, the owner of Bury Knowle House, was the primary reason why the people of Headington Quarry turned their back on the Anglican church and embraced Methodism.

		This confusion comes about partly because as more stone was quarried over the years two large quarries have merged into one and it is not now easy to differentiate one from the other.
		The quarry that is immediately behind the car park is the North Quarry and it can be accessed via a gate at the south end or by going between the gaps in the concrete blocks to the north.
		The proposal to control quarrying were eventually deleted from the 1909 Act and the Pyx Granite Company Limited and others were free to continue destroying the hills in the search for Malvern stone.

	The Quarrymen - Hunter Davies
		It’s a music book about men who never were serious musicians – a rock history about men who never became rock stars – a footnote in pop history which stayed just that.
		In this new book, he is delving into an aspect of the research which he would have left untouched in the 1960s, and expanding his original Quarrymen footnote into a parallel account of the men whom fame left behind.
		Obviously, this book will be of interest to Beatles fans, but it isn’t necessary to be a Beatles aficionado to appreciate the book’s human portraits of real people, and its interesting reflections on the nature of celebrity and fame.

	THE SOURCE - Acetates - Other - That'll Be The Day b/w In Spite Of All the Danger
		A short while later, having parted company with 17s 6d [88p] (about $2) the five Quarry Men left 38 Kensington passing among them the cherished fruit of their debut recording session: a very breakable 78rpm record, ten-inches in diameter.
		Colin Hanton (whose membership of the Quarry Men pre-dated both Paul's and George's) and John Lowe (who was recruited principally because he could play Jerry Lee Lewis's exacting arpeggio part in Mean Woman Blues) left soon after the band's one and only recording session, leaving the nucleus, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, to aim for fame.
		At last fans got to hear the Quarry Men's That'll Be The Day in full, and In Spite Of All The Danger, a Beatles legend, was finally unveiled as the earliest known recording of a Harrison or McCartney song.

	An Interview With Rod Davis of The Quarrymen
		Quarry Bank was fairly academically oriented so any boy that didn't pull in the same way as the others stood out a bit.
		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.
		We were asked to play and we changed to the Quarry Men came from the Woolton quarry and from the fact we were from Quarry Bank.

	From Blackjacks to Beatles
		Pete Shotton in his book says that he was the one to come up with the name "Quarry Men" after a line from the school song, "Quarry Men, strong before their birth." Most other sources give the credit for coming up with the name to John Lennon.
		The Quarry Men played from the back of a lorry (truck) and afterwards Pete and John got really drunk (the first time for either of them) and John broke Pete's washboard over his head, to Pete's great relief, as that spelled the end of his career as a Quarry Man.
		Determined to carry on, the Quarry Men renamed themselves Johnny and The Moondogs and auditioned for Carroll Levis' "TV Star Search" in Liverpool and were selected to attend the finals in Manchester.

		Headington Quarry Morris Dancers are planning a strictly local affair to mark the centenary of the day their team was "discovered" by Cecil Sharp - the encounter that led to the worldwide revival of morris dancing.
		The side will perform at noon on the site of Sandfield Cottage, where Sharp had been staying with his mother in law on the occasion when the Quarry men broke with tradition and danced out of season, hoping to earn extra pennies to help them through a lean time.
		On the Boxing Day holiday - which falls on December 27 - the Headington Quarry dancers will be out again, but this time with their usual post-Christmas performances of rapper sword dance, carol singing, handbell ringing, and the village mummer's play.
