As Griffiths definitely knew how to play the banjo, Lennon's mom told them the best way to tune the main four strings of their guitars to similar notes as a banjo, and showed them the harmonies of D, C, and D7, as well as the Fats Domino melody, "Ain't That a Shame".[6][7] They rehearsed at Lennon's auntie's home (called Mendips) at 251 Menlove Road where Lennon resided, or at Griffiths' home in Halewood Drive.[8] They figured out how to play "Rock Island Line", "Bounce Down Pivot (Pick a Bundle of Cotton)", "Alabamy Bound" and "Cumberland Hole", and later figured out how to play "That is Okay" and "Mean Lady Blues".

Both Lennon and Shotton have been credited with begetting the name Quarrymen after a line in their school's melody: 'Quarrymen, old before our introduction to the world. Stressing each muscle and ligament.' The decision of name was joking as Lennon respected the reference in the school melody to "stressing each muscle and ligament" as risible.[5][13] Smith's residency in the band was very short, and he was supplanted with hardly a pause in between by Nigel Walley, Ivan Vaughan, and Len Garry all through late 1956 and mid 1957.[14] Likewise during this period, drummer Colin Hanton and banjo player Bar Davis joined the group.[14] This gathering of Lennon, Griffiths, Shotton, Garry, Hanton, and Davis framed the primary stable line-up of the gathering.

He sent flyers to neighborhood theaters and assembly halls, and set up banners planned by Lennon: "Nation and-western, rock n' roll, skiffle band — The Quarrymen — Open for Commitment — Kindly Call Nigel Walley, Tel. Gateacre 1715".[16] Walley figured out how to get the gathering a few paid commitment all through the spring of 1957, including one at The Sinkhole Club[18] A jazz club at that point, the Cave endured skiffle as it was viewed as a branch-off of jazz.[19] Lennon, nonetheless, started driving the band in a few wild numbers, provoking the club's supervisor to send up a note requesting the gathering to "cut out the ridiculous stone".

In July 1957, Canadian producer Carroll Levis held an ability challenge in Liverpool, the champs of which would show up on the TV series Star Search[21] The Quarrymen played "Stressed Man Blues", and were boisterously commended, however a gathering from Ridges (called the Sunnyside Skiffle Gathering) "made the most of the stage" and dominated the static Quarrymen, and were asked by Levis to fill as of now of the challenge with a second song.[22] Lennon contended heatedly with Levis behind the stage, saying the Sunnyside Skiffle Gathering had carried a transport loaded with allies with them, and were given "the high ground" advantage by Levis.[22] After the opposition, Levis utilized an applaud o-meter (a machine to quantify the decibels of the crowd's response to the gatherings) as they were approached to stroll back out onto the stage. The Quarrymen and the Sunnyside Skiffle Gathering tied by both arriving at ninety on the meter, however following a subsequent test, the Quarrymen lost just barely.

Vaughan and McCartney left before the night show what began at 8 o'clock.[31] During the presentation, there was an unforeseen rainstorm, which made the lights go out.[32] Weave Molyneux, a youthful classmate from Quarry Bank, recorded piece of the exhibition on his Grundig TK8 versatile reel-to-reel recording device. The tape included forms of Lonnie Donegan's "Puttin' on the Style" and Elvis' "Child How about we Play House". In 1963, Molyneux offered the tape to Lennon by means of Ringo Starr, however Lennon never answered, so Molyneux put the tape in a vault.
