Which band was the band, who featured the "Fab Four," named after?
Stuart Sutcliffe Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe (23 June 1940 – 10 April 1962) was a British painter and musician best known as the original bass guitarist for the Beatles. Sutcliffe left the band to pursue his career as a painter, having previously attended the Liverpool College of Art. Sutcliffe and John Lennon are credited with inventing the name, "Beetles", as they both liked Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets. The band used this name for a while until Lennon decided to change the name to "the Beatles", from the word "beat". As a member of the group when it was a five-piece band, Sutcliffe is one of several people sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle."
Beatles Day Beatles Day celebrates The Beatles' triumphant return to Liverpool on 10 July 1964 from their US tour, just in time for the premiere of their film "A Hard Day's Night". This day is considered one of the landmarks in their rise to fame, and, since 2008, its anniversary has been celebrated as Beatles Day in both Liverpool and Hamburg, the cities where the Fab Four laid the foundations for their stardom. Others choose to celebrate "Beatles Day" on 27 February in the USA to mark the beauty and peacefulness of the Fab Four's music in time for Spring.
