Leonard Charles 'Len' Garry (born 6 January 1942[1][2]) is an English musician, best known for being a member of The Quarrymen, a band who would later evolve into The Beatles.

[1] Garry attended Mosspits Lane Primary School, which included future Quarrymen members Pete Shotton and Nigel Walley, and briefly, John Lennon.

This was at the height of the skiffle craze, and sure enough in the autumn of 1956 the band that was to become the Quarrymen took shape, with another Quarry Bank lad called Bill Smith on tea chest bass.

Bill however, never turned up for practices and so I soon stepped into his shoes and became a permanent member of the band, staying with the group until August 1958 when I fell seriously ill with tubercular meningitis, spending some 7 months in hospital.A few months after Len's departure, the band recorded their first singles; That'll Be the Day and In Spite of All the Danger.

Garry was one of two members of the Quarrymen, who didn't attend Quarry Bank High School[2] (the latter of which the band was named after), the other being Nigel Walley.

Garry was in the same room as John Lennon, when he and McCartney first met on 6 July 1957:[4] I remember Paul coming along that night at St Peter's Church Hall, picking up a guitar – I didn't even know he was left-handed – and playing a couple of chords.

It wasn't just about playing guitar together or singing, it was about composing as well.In 1997, Garry reunited with the then-surviving members of The Quarrymen to perform a concert, to commemorate 40 years since the group's formation.
