The group moved towards rock and roll, causing several of the original members to leave. This left Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, who performed under several other names, including <b>Johnny and the Moondogs</b>, <b>Japage 3</b>, and <b>Long John and the Silver Beatles</b> before returning to the Quarrymen name in 1959. In 1960, the group changed their name to "The Beatles" (chosen for its double meaning and as a wink to <a href="/wiki/Buddy_Holly" title="Buddy Holly">Buddy Holly</a>'s band, "<a href="/wiki/The_Crickets" title="The Crickets">The Crickets</a>"). </p><p>In 1997, the four surviving original members of the Quarrymen reunited to perform at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the garden fête performance at which Lennon had first met McCartney.

In addition to its popularity among British teenagers as music to listen to, it also spawned a craze of teenage boys starting their own groups to perform the music. One of the primary attractions was that it did not require great musical skills or expensive instruments to be played.<sup id="cite_ref-BobTapes_4-0" class="reference"><a
