Rockshow – A clever reminder from McCartney
We all know that as far as The Beatles were concerned, the PR was down to Paul. Regardless of how playful the others were in public, Paul would rein it in, like everyone’s Dad. In front of the camera he was and still is, always the consummate professional. So when I settled into my big [...]

Boo Hewerdine at Lymm Folk Club – 11.04.13
Lymm is a village on the outskirts of Cheshire, which many are only familiar with as an interchange on the M6. I’ve always loved it, its picturesque dam and chocolate box setting make it hard not to, but until last Thursday, I had no idea that its Folk Club played host to esteemed musical guests [...]

Albert Lee…to review or not to review?
I think it’s safe to say this is going to be a gig review with a difference. The difference being, it’s not really a gig review. I’d had my tickets for Albert Lee at Runcorn’s wonderful Brindley Theatre for quite some time and everyone I mentioned it to gasped in awe of my planned evening [...]
Eddi Reader – Beautiful at The Brindley
I’m aware that Runcorn isn’t in Merseyside, but I am going to break the rules of Cavern Blog (because they’re my rules!) and I’m going to a review a gig I saw last night in Runcorn. For those of you who haven’t discovered The Brindley Theatre, it’s a wonderful place, holding around 400 people with [...]

Album Review: 54321 ‘What We Did With Our Days’
As much as I love loads of current music, I’m a 60s and 70s girl at heart, so when it comes to buying albums I tend to spend my money on the mountains of old stuff I’ve yet to catch up on. But following a couple of recent visits to see 54321 at Liverpool’s Cavern [...]

James McCartney at The Cavern….was it too soon?
When James McCartney emerged onto the Cavern stage on Tuesday night, I, along with numerous other audience members, admitted to feeling a little bit sorry for him. The general consensus of opinion seemed to be that he had put himself under a lot of pressure by booking The Cavern as one of his first solo [...]

I feel compelled to mention Davy….
I wasn’t going to write a blog about Davy Jones today, not because his death hasn’t made me sad, because it has. But because, as much as I’ve always liked The Monkees, I am by no means an authority on them and didn’t really feel qualified to comment on Davy’s life to any great extent. [...]

Lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Now I don’t need much of an excuse to get my backside down to the Cavern, so when Mum and Dad decided to stay over last weekend, it was a good opportunity to check out the What’s On guide and organise some typically Scouse entertainment, i.e. a band and a beer. At 1pm on Sunday, [...]

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace….
From time to time, I venture down south to the posh bit, to visit my good friend Rob in Maidenhead. Over the years he has become quite fond of Liverpool and all things northern, but despite my best efforts, he still insists that his tea is actually his dinner – and you should have seen [...]

The Classic Beatle
Hello Cavern Bloggers and thanks for bearing with me these past couple of weeks while my blogging has been quiet. The truth is, my job involves staring at a PC for most of the day and when things get busy it’s not always easy to stare at another one when I get home. The good [...]
