The Casbah Coffee Club
The idea for the club came from Best himself. He asked his mother for a place where he and his friends could meet and listen to music. The Quarrymen included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ken Brown. Brown was the one who organized their weekly residence at the Casbah Coffee Club, but, eventually, a rift over money led to the rest of the band booting Brown out by October 1959.

With Brown kicked out, the days of the Quarrymen were over. And, with that, their stint at the Casbah ended. Meanwhile, Best was studying at Liverpool Collegiate Grammar School when he decided that he wanted to be in a music group.
