RIP Pete Shotton (4 August 1941 - 24 March 2017)

“Pete was John’s best friend from the age of 5, and they were inseparable. They tormented teachers at Quarry Bank School, getting themselves into trouble almost daily. John could keep a straight face while Pete would have hysterics at anything his partner in crime did. When it came to starting The Quarrymen, Pete had to be involved as he was John’s best friend. As he wasn’t musical, Pete was given the washboard. He didn’t last long in the group but was always there at his friend’s side.

"Even after The Beatles became famous, John had Pete working at Apple and would give Pete whatever he needed, famously setting his friend up in a supermarket on Hayling Island. The pair remained friends. He will forever be mentioned in the same breath as his friend John Lennon, a friendship that survived fame and remained as strong as ever.”

“But it’s embarrassing, do you know? The word embarrassing, when um, if you go with a beard & when people see that it’s you with a beard, it’s embarrassing. John & I went through London Airport with glasses and beard, and hats and coats. And as we walked through, people said ‘Hello George!” “Hello John!” We were all embarrassed, it’s awful!  It’s better to go like this and just run!” -George, Radio Luxembourg, 1965
