Paul began dating 16 year old Dorothy ' Dot' Rhone. For Paul, Rhone dressed like Brigitte Bardot. To Dot, Paul was loving and attentive. The Casbah was run by Mona Best. Her 18 year old son Pete was becoming a pretty good drummer. John, Paul and George changed the band's name to Johnny and the Moondogs. This was the so the group could be in a talent contest. 

While John was attending art college, he became friends with Stuart Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe helped John with his art. Paul was jealous. John moved out of his Aunt Mimi's house and moved in with Sutcliffe.

Things were not going well for John, Paul and George as a group. John and Paul had stopped writing together. As a music group, they had no name and no drummer. Their gigs were mostly art college dances.

One day, John asked Sutcliffe if he wanted to join the band as a bass guitarist. Paul knew he couldn't play. He was not happy.
