In this film, Eddie Cochran performs "Twenty Flight Rock". That song's influence was so great
in Liverpool, that Paul McCartney's ability to memorise the words and perform the song impressed John Lennon enough to ask him to join his group, then known as "The Quarrymen", which later became The Beatles.
