1960 saw John Lennon's young Liverpool band known as "The Quarrymen" emerge as "The Beatles". They even spent a couple of months as "The Silver Beatles" before settling on the final, shorter version.
The Quarrymen were originally formed by Lennon in 1957 with Paul McCartney and George Harrison joining shortly after. It would be a couple of more years before Ringo joins as the drummer.
For a brief history of these early days check out the BBC article here...

"Once upon a time there were three little boys called John, George and Paul, by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of a sudden they grew guitars and fashioned a noise." John Lennon 1960
