"I got to Mimi, and there was this guy who I did not know then I said to John:" Who is this John? and he said "It's Paul, he came to listen to us practice."
"By then of course they had offered him the banjo player slot, so if I had not been such a rubbish banjo Paul McCartney would not have obtained in the group."
The Cavern Club opened in January 1957 as a jazz club, but it quickly became popular with skiffle groups.
First appearance of Paul McCartney in the cave with The Quarrymen was in January 1958.
Mr. Davis said when he was unable to recall the date of the first appearance of the group to the cave, he remembers the night that led to their first official booking when they were spotted by owner Alan Sytner Cavern while playing in a local golf club.
The performance was arranged by a friend of the band and director Nigel Walley who worked at Lee Park Golf Club, Alan Sytner was a member of the audience.
