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 [...]

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, [...]

Not 1…Not 2…Not 3…!

It’s a rare breed of musician that has played ALL FOUR incarnations of the Cavern Club…and as promised, Cavern Blog has delivered.

On The Waterfront

We need to talk about Me

School for me was a painful place. I was shy and awkward and never really fitted in. You know the one…always got her clothes wrong, always got her hair wrong (well…it was the eighties, maybe I shouldn’t be quite so hard on myself) and always the last to be picked for the netball team? Yep, [...]

Step Inside Love…

Well, I’ve been thinking about this for long enough, so at last, here it is. My Cavern Blog. A place for ramblings which I hope will eventually uncover the answer to my question….”What is it about Liverpool?” Everytime someone asks me where I’m from and why I live in Liverpool, they are always amazed at [...]
