storm's first name for a group was "dracula & the werewolves", but he then settled on "al caldwell's texans". still known as alan caldwell, storm opened the morgue skiffle club in the cellar of a large victorian house, "balgownie", at 25 oakhill park, broadgreen, on 13 march 1958. the cellar consisted of two rooms, painted black and connected by a long corridor, with skeletons painted on the walls and one blue light. groups played on tuesdays and thursdays for up to 100 people (above the age of 15) starting at 7:30 pm, including storm's group (later called "the raving texans") and the quarrymen (who later became "the beatles"). after complaints about the noise, the police closed down the club on 1 april 1958, but storm reopened it on 22 april 1958. it was in the morgue skiffle club that george harrison auditioned for the quarrymen, playing "guitar boogie shuffle" by bert weedon, before being admitted as a member of the band. paul mccartney has stated that george harrison auditioned for john lennon on the top of a bus by playing, "raunchy." harrison later asked storm if he could join his group, but storm's mother refused to allow it, as she thought harrison was too young.
