The Quarry Men played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, (without Paul McCartney who was away at Boy Scout summer camp). The Cavern was still a jazz club, but skiffle was tolerated, but when John Lennon dared to play Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes, the club owner sent a note to the stage saying, "Cut out the bloody rock!"
