Pauline was a young Liverpool girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Behan in Liverpool. She lived in the Hunts Cross area, worked in Liverpool as a secretary at the Co-operative Building Society and was wildly into music. At first her main love was Jazz, but after seeing a young lad called Paul McCartney performing a song called Lend me Your Comb at the Casbah club, she went completely mad on rock`n`roll and this lad`s band, The Beatles. "I thought the Beatles were absoloutely fantastic," Pauline recalls. She was initially drawn to one of their guitarists, John Lennon, but as it turned out she ended up becomming the girlfriend of one of their other guitarists, George Harrison.
When her boyfriend and her favourite band were away gigging in Germany, Pauline still wanted to go out and enjoy live music. While at a dance at the Orrell Park Ballroom during their Hambug trip of 1959, Pauline was asked to dance by a young lad who was very inquisitive as to her name and where she lived. It turned out he was a friend of the band on stage at the time, and one of the band - the lead singer Gerry - had asked him to go find out about her for him because he`d seen her around the Cavern Club a lot and thought her really pretty. A few nights later at St John`s church hall in West Derby, Gerry himself came over to speak to her. As she remembers "Gerry came over at the dance and knew my name. He said he got the same bus home as me. I wondered how he found this out, but he told me correctly that it was the 81 bus. I thought this was strange, as we didn`t live in the same area. That was how he was: a real little con man! Did I want to get the bus home with him? I said yes, OK. I was with Linda Kermode, my best friend. Near the end of the dance he came over and said they`d decided to get a taxi, but would give me and my friend a lift home. The plan was to go through Hunts Cross (where I lived) first, then through to Aigburth to drop off Les Chadwick, then to drop off Les maguire at the Pier head to catch the last ferry across the Mersey to his home in Birkenhead. When it came to it, the trip happened in reverse, leaving Gerry taking me home, just the two of us. I was fuming. When the taxi stopped outside my home, as I got out, gerry asked me for my phone number. But I was running up the path. It was late for those years - 12.30 in the morning. I knew my dad would be sitting waiting for me on the stairs. I tried to get my key in the door and Gerry was shouting for my number from the taxi. I knew all the neighbours` lights would be going on and I didn`t want to be the talk of the district. `Tell me your phone number, shout it, I`ll remember it,` he was yelling. I shouted it to silence him, thinking he`d never remember it."
Pauline was so mad with this boy as she`d made it quite clear that she had a boyfriend who gerry knew very well called George Harrison, but still he was making a move on her. "When I was pestering her for a date, she replied that her boyfriend was George Harrison of The Beatles. But he was in Hamburg at that time, so I decided that while the cat was away..." Pauline was s sure that he wouldn`t remember the number anyway so she wasn`t worrying about it, but the following night she got a shock when she got back home. "Next night when I got home from my work... my dad... said a boy named Gerry had been on the phone for me. When he called again and asked if I would go out with him, I agreed to go to the pictures.
