Leonard Charles Garry (6 January 1942 – 2 March 2026) was an English musician, best known for being a member of the Quarrymen, a band which later evolved into the Beatles.
Early life
Garry was born in Wavertree, Liverpool, on 6 January 1942. His father Henry worked as a compositor at the Liverpool Daily Post, and his mother Phyllis was a housewife.
A few months after Garry's departure, the Quarrymen 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 did not attend Quarry Bank High School
1994–2026
In 1997, Garry reunited with surviving members of the Quarrymen to perform a concert to commemorate 40 years since the group's formation. They embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan, among others. Garry participated on all subsequent Quarrymen releases, including their three albums Get Back – Together (1997), Songs We Remember (2004), and Grey Album (2012). Their later material primarily consisted of rock and roll and skiffle songs from the 1950s. Garry was portrayed by actor Frazer Bird in the 2009 biopic Nowhere Boy. The Quarrymen performed in New York City, for what would have been Lennon's 70th birthday in 2010.
