Gallotone Guitar Company T- Shirt -to go with our other Quarrymen gift ideas!
Gallotone was the 1st Guitar John Lennon played . If you know the back story you know that John was bought a Champion Model
by his Aunt Mimi :
Paul McCartney’s took hold of John’s guitar at a church fete that impressed Lennon sufficiently to offer him a place in his band, the Quarrymen, forerunners of the Beatles.
McCartney, then 15, was in the audience as the band performed at the St Peter’s church fete in Woolton, Merseyside.
Later that day the two were introduced and Lennon was immediately taken by McCartney’s ability to remember lyrics and tune the guitar. The rest, as they say, is history as the two guided the Beatles to musical immortality.
The “cherry sunburst-coloured” guitar remained in Lennon’s family with his Aunt Mimi until his murder in 1980.
This is the Gallotone logo from the day !
