Cavern Club

The legendary Cavern Club needs no introduction. From 1957 to the present day, The Cavern Club still goes strong. From the Quarry Men, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, to The Beatles, the Cavern Club was one of the places where 4 lads from Liverpool honed their craft. The home of Merseybeat, the Cavern Club was originally opened in a warehouse cellar on Matthew Street, Liverpool. Alan Sytner named the club after the Paris Jazz Club, Le Caveau De La Huchette and planned for it to become the premier Jazz venue outside of London.

When John Lennon played with the Quarry Men on the 7th August, 1957, Sytner had told him during the performance to cut out the Rock!
