The Georgians with the Beatles

In The Cavern I remember hovering in the band room, especially when The Beatles were on, and feeling privileged if John chose to stub his ciggy out on my head. Pete Best and George Harrison were lovely guys and would acknowledge me, or anyone, in the band room, John would give a grunt if in the mood, but Paul was usually rather aloof, possibly because he was nervous. Of the four, I always thought Paul was the most nervous and worried before a gig. He regularly had to go to the loo just before their act and invariably forgot to button his fly before going on stage. That gave the reputation of him doing it on purpose for the ladies, and maybe it was, but I believe it was accidental.

I also remember being there the night after Pete Best had been sacked from The Beatles and Pete's mates, possibly without his knowledge, came to seek retribution from the rest of The Beatles. George got a hiding, but John gave it some back and then Paddy and the rest of the bouncers sorted it out.
