the Reluctant Beatle page 9 by ric gustafson
Harrison met up with his bandmates after they had returned from Hamburg. The three and a half months in Hamburg had not helped their career. George's parents were still supportive. Paul's father and John's Aunt Mimi wanted them to go and get regular jobs.
A friend of the band, Bob Wooler, got the band a gig at the Litherland Town Hall. Those who came to the gig that night watched the Beatles as they started with ' Long Tall Sally'.
A club called the ' Cavern Club' had started out being a local jazz club. Then they changed and let rock and roll groups perform there.
The club was primitive. It had no air conditioning, smoke alarms or even an emergency exit. During the lunch hour, young office and shop workers would come in and listen to live music.
One day, the Beatles were hired to be the lunch time band.
