Welcome to the Quarrymen’s Official Website

UPDATED April 2026

Mega-Beatle fan Edmund Thielow has been a friend of the Quarrymen for over 20 years and we have played for him several times in his home town of Glauchau in Saxony in what was East Germany. Even during Soviet times, Edmund kept all his Beatles memorabilia in his Sergeant Pepper Museum in the front room of his house. After the fall of Communism he was obliged to change the title to “Beat Archiv”, but this did nothing to reduce his enthusiasm. In addition to keeping his museum active, Edmund has also produced many “not for profit” recordings over the years, and it gives us great pleasure to show his collection of Quarrymen related recordings, which of course are not commercially available. Our thanks go to Edmund and his wife Christina for their continued friendship and support.
