The Beatles evolved from Lennon's first band, the Quarrymen. Named after Quarry Bank High School, the group was established by him in September 1956 when he was 15, and began as a skiffle group.[27] By the summer of 1957 the Quarrymen played a "spirited set of songs" made up of half skiffle, and half rock and roll.[28] Lennon first met Paul McCartney at the Quarrymen's second performance, held in Woolton on 6 July at the St. Peter's Church garden fκte, after which McCartney was asked to join the band.[29] Lennon's Aunt Mimi disapproved of McCartney because he was, as she said, "working class",[30] with McCartney's father also disapproving, declaring that Lennon would get his son "into a lot of trouble";[31] although later allowing the fledgling band to rehearse in the McCartney's front room at 20 Forthlin Road.[32] Lennon was 18 when he wrote his first song ("Hello Little Girl", a UK top 10 hit for The Fourmost nearly five years later).[33]

Stuart Sutcliffe, Lennon's friend from art school, joined as bassist,[34] and George Harrison joined the band as lead guitarist.[35] Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Sutcliffe became "The Beatles" in early 1960. In August of that year The Beatles, engaged for a 48-night residency in Hamburg, Germany, asked drummer Pete Best to join them one day before leaving.[36] Lennon was now 19, and his aunt, horrified when he told her about the trip, pleaded with him to continue his art studies instead.[37] After the first Hamburg residency, the band accepted another in April 1961, and a third in April 1962. Like the other band members, Lennon was introduced to Preludin while in Hamburg,[38] and regularly took the drug, as well as amphetamines, as a stimulant during their long, overnight performances.[39]

Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager from 1962, had no prior experience of artist management, but nevertheless had a strong influence on their early dress code and attitude on stage.[40] Lennon initially resisted Epstein's attempts to encourage the band to present a professional appearance, but eventually complied, saying, "I'll wear a bloody balloon if somebody's going to pay me".[41] McCartney took over on bass after Sutcliffe decided to stay in Hamburg, and drummer Ringo Starr replaced Best, completing the four-piece line-up that would endure until the group's break-up in 1970. After discovering she was pregnant, Lennon married Powell on 23 August 1962, at the Mount Pleasant Register office in Liverpool.[42]

At the moment a competition is running to see who can come up with the final design and so far it has been whittled down to three finalists.

One of the designs comes from Woods Bagot and features a low-level structure that will contain the convention space and exhibition space. They've employed a distinctive geometric look to it when viewed from above.

The tower emulates the low-rises geometric forms in both its shape and glazing pattern. At its base a triangular entrance sits leading to the podium base the tower rises from.
