J Lennon page 7 by ric gustafson
The Beatles walk onto a small stage. It is August 17 1960. It was the Indra Club in Hamburg Germany. There they will be working for Bruno Koschmider. He told them they will be playing between 4 and 6 hours a night. They will be playing for 48 nights.
They start their show at 8:00 pm. Drummer Pete Best tries to keep an even tempo. All the hours of singing made John's voice hurt. He was singing 12 hours a day.
When Allan Williams came back in October 1960, the band had changed. Playing all the time had made the group a lot better. They enjoyed spending time with a group called Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Their drummer's name was Ringo Starr.
In Feb of 1961 after George Harrison turned 18, the group returned to Hamburg Germany. They began to play at a club called the Top Ten.
