Of the original quintet, one was from Edinburgh, Scotland, another was from 
Madras, India and the other three were from Liverpool. The two out of 
towners got pink slips. Mr Starkey picked up the drum sticks making the band 
an all Liverpool affair.

I don't think there is a statue of them together in the 'pool but there is 
one of Eleanor Rigby seen here

along with a street level reincarnation of the entrance to the original 
Cavern Club seen here

A statue of another singer from Liverpool is seen here
