Sounds like he should have been but no
It does relate to a group of four people though

Group of four? Was he part of the Beatles before they became famous but dropped out and got replaced?
Or am I thinking of someone else?

You are thinking of someone else. Stuart Sutcliffe was known as the fifth beatle
But your answer is as close as it is possible to get without being correct

Not Pete Best or even the Beatles but a group who were very very close (almost a copy)

The Ruttles?

Yes
Leppo was the "fifth" Rutle in the spoof documentary about the Beatles mirroring Stuart Sutcliffes Beatles involvement

Any idea of the street?

No idea. I'm fairly sure that Oxford has streets, but that's as far as it goes.

the answers to these six questions all have something common: answer them all and identify the theme.
Which bowler took 202 wickets in 49 tests for England in the 1960s and 1970s?
What was formed from Fort William, Port Arthur and two smaller towns?
The Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 ended a campaign by which chief of the Oglala Lokota?
What was the only UK number 1 best-selling single for Terry Jacks?
What is the common term for a last second attempt to score with a long pass in American football?
What is the title of Turner's 1844 painting featuring a steam locomotive?

The theme is weather.
1 is snow, 5 is hail, 6 rain. Don't know the others
ps at a guess, 3 is probably cloud
going through other kinds of weather, was Terry Jacks responsible for Seasons in the Sun?
If the two guesses are right that just leaves 2, which I haven't got the faintest, but surely must be thunder or lightning?

Would this be a knurr?

Not bad for a long shot: the only thing I know about knurr and spell is the name.
I can't think of a new question, so the floor is open.

The Eastern Valleys Brass Band, the Godfrey Road Barbershop Quartet, the George Formby Appreciation Society (Griffithstown Branch), some bloke with harp and beard who'd been exiled from Llangollen for playing "Sheep May Safely Graze" and Catatonia before they were famous all share this honour...

Sounds a great answer
Is it correct. We need something else to go at
