"The story of The Beatles is passing into our modern folklore, but the true beginnings of the world's greatest band still remain untold."

"Beatles history is brief. In 1960 they played the Casbah Coffee Club to a crowd of 1,500. Just three years later they were performing in front of 73 million people on the Ed Sullivan show.  In 1970 they disbanded. For forty years the true beginnings of The Beatles have been hidden beneath the great successes that followed.  The Casbah Coffee Club is the place that can truly claim to have brought The Beatles together, under the same roof, for the first time as The Quarrymen and right through to their birth as 'The Beatles'."
