Looking at the Beatles, they were a 5 man band at one time: Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Moore and Sutcliffe. They were doing tours and backing up the likes of Jonny Gentle who was big in those days in the UK, so they were moving in the top levels to be doing that. That was 1960.

BTW, Moore was at the Larry Parnes auditions. The Beatles unsuccessfully tried to persuade Tommy Moore to stay and go to Hamburg with them. That is when Pete Best came in.
