When did Ringo join The Beatles?

Answer 1

George Harrison was a school friend of Paul McCartney; they met riding the same bus back and forth every day. When McCartney joined John Lennon's initial band the Quarry Men in 1957, fourteen-year-old Harrison began tagging along to their shows, bringing his guitar. If another member didn't show up, he was allowed to fill in for them.

Harrison could already outplay the rest of the Quarry Men's guitarists, but wasn't considered at first for membership because of his young age. Lennon thought of him as a "bloody kid" who tended to get in the way, but was gradually won over; Harrison would play "Raunchy", a mutual favorite song, anytime Lennon wanted. Over time the rest of the band quit, leaving just Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.

Answer 2

Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as the Beatles' drummer on 16 August 1962.
In the early sixties, Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr, was a well-respected drummer in Liverpool before he met The Beatles in Hamburg. He was a considerably better drummer than their original drummer, Pete Best. Ringo and George Harrison quickly became friends, John and Paul began contemplating asking Ringo to join the band permanently. Starkey began sitting in for Best on occasion. The Beatles ended up returning to England and firing Best in August of 1962. Starkey's first Beatles gig was on August 18, 1962, at the Horticultural Society Dance at Port Sunlight. Many Best fans were angry about the drummer swap and stirred up trouble at the Cavern Club the next day. It got so bad that George Harrison received a black eye amidst the shouting of "Pete forever, Ringo never!"
