Video time!

People have told us recently about several great videos of the Quarrymen on Youtube which have been around for a long time without our realising! So here are the links!

First up, the 40th Anniversary pf the Day John Met Paul, celebrated in Woolton in 1997 for which the Quarrymen got back together - and have been more or less together ever since!
