On July 6, 1957, their mutual acquaintance Ivan Vaughan introduced them at the Woolton Village Fete at St. Peter’s Church. Vaughan had persuaded McCartney, then 15, to accompany him to see John Lennon’s Quarrymen perform. Lennon and McCartney later became friends because of their shared taste in music. McCartney demonstrated alternate guitar tuning to Lennon and performed Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock,” Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” and many Little Richard tunes, which impressed Lennon. “I partially thought to myself, ‘He’s as good as me,'” remembered Lennon. A few weeks later, McCartney was approached to join the Quarrymen and agreed, singing lead vocals and playing guitar.
