If you're a Beatles fan, you can’t miss the opportunity to hear Rod Davis talk about how it all began.
Born in Liverpool in 1941, Rod Davis first met John Lennon at Sunday School when he was five years old. Then, when they were 11, both boys found themselves at Quarry Bank School.
In 1956, soon after John started his skiffle group, The Quarrymen, Rod joined to play banjo. He was with the group when they first played at The Cavern and was on stage with John when he first met Paul McCartney at the now legendary St Peter’s Fete in the village of Woolton.
Shortly afterwards, he drifted out of The Quarrymen and was replaced by Paul. The Quarrymen got back together in 1997 and since then, they have travelled most of the world.
This Saturday in Róisín Dubh, join us for an afternoon with Rod Davis, where he will explain the roots of skiffle music and tell the story of how it influenced the young Quarrymen growing up in Liverpool, using digital slides, and of course playing and singing many of the group's songs.
