During 1960 the Silver Beatles played on and off without a permanent drummer. Finally a chance to play in Hamburg came along through their manager Allan Williams, but they needed a drummer. They had met Pete Best at The Casbah and had seen him perform there with his own group the Blackjacks. Paul McCartney phoned Pete Best in August and asked if he fancied joining the band. Pete spoke to his own group regarding the approach, and as none of the Blackjacks wished to turn professional, they gave Pete their blessing. Pete Best auditioned, became a Beatle, and left for Hamburg, Germany where they played both the Kaiserkeller and Indra clubs.
