1943, February 24 George Harrison is born at 12 Arnold Grove, Wavertree, Liverpool, England. He is the youngest of four children. Although February 25 is the date traditionally observed as Harrison's birthday, George told "Billboard" magazine in December 1992 that his birthday is actually February 24, something he had only recently become aware of. Apparently George was born shortly before midnight, but his birth certificate incorrectly states that he was born after midnight, on the 25th.

The Quarry Men audition for "Mr. Star-Maker", Carroll Levis, at one of Levis' "TV Star Search" shows which he puts on all over Britain.
Unfortunately, The Quarry Men fail to make it past the first round of competition, losing out to the Sunnyside Skiffle Group.
June 22, 1957
The Quarry Men play
from the back of a parked coal truck on Rosebery
St., Liverpool, during street celebrations marking the
750th anniversary of King John's issuance of a charter
for the settling and development of Liverpool. A
group of toughs from Hatherley St. threaten to beat up
the group, especially "that Lennon", but the Quarry
Men beat a hasty retreat when their performance is
over, avoiding a fight. Rosebery St. wins newspaper
awards for best-decorated street outside of the city
center. The Rosebery St. residents celebrate with a
second party, but the Quarry Men aren't invited back for
a second appearance. [Note: Mark Lewisohn reports
this event on June 22, as does Allen Wiener, but Ray
Coleman gives the date of May 24.
