John Duff Lowe was born in 1942. Lowe was a pianist from the middle-late '50s. Lowe is remembered for his performance along with the Quarrymen, (including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Colin Hanton in drums) "That'll Be the Day"/"In Spite of All the Danger". It was recorded in 1958 at Percy Phillips' home studio in Liverpool. Lowe ended up having the copy and back in 1981 he was about to auction the record and finally Paul McCartney bought it for a large sum of money. Its estimated value is around 12.000 pounds. McCartney had the record remastered and they first appeared on The Beatles Anthology 1. In 1994, John Lowe played again with the Quarry Men for the album: "Open for Engagements". Only Rod Davis (guitar) played for the Quarry Men in the 1950s.
