๐ŸŽผ The Garden Fete

On July 6 1957, a Saturday, a local parish in a Liverpool neighborhood held an event which they called ๐Ÿ‘‰ The Garden Fete: the event consisted in a procession, various sort of parades, and a final concert named for the occasion The Grand Dance.
To close the day a local band of teenagers was called, The Quarry Men Skiffle Group: the band leader and frontman was John Lennon (aged 16).
Some minutes before the concert Lennon was trying to tune his guitar๐ŸŽธin "G" but he didn't know how, a guy from the public introduced himself and taught Lennon how to do: his name was Paul McCartney (aged 15) who later performed on stage with the band 2 songs and soon after entered the band.

This was the day when #JohnLennon and #PaulMcCartney first met, 2 teenagers in a Liverpool church garden who were destined to become great friends and the most succesful songwriters of all times!
