STORY
In 1957, a young man named Alan Sytner opened The Cavern Club - a humble, brick-arched cellar on Mathew Street, Liverpool.
Inspired by the Caveau de la Huchette in Paris and originally strictly a jazz and blues club, nobody could have known what it would become.
As jazz and blues gave way to skiffle, then as skiffle gave way to rock ’n’ roll, a new generation of musicians began to take the tiny stage — none more significant than a young band from Liverpool who would go on to become the most influential group in music history.
Between 1961 and 1963, The Beatles performed at the Cavern nearly 300 times. Alongside them were artists who would shape British pop: Cilla Black, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Liver Birds, Rory Storm, and many more. It was here that countless bands made their start. Here that they found their sound. And here that Liverpool became the beating heart of a cultural movement that would echo around the world for decades to come.
THE CAVERN CLUB STORY tells this extraordinary tale with warmth, humour, authenticity and outstanding musicianship, and brings the spirit of the legendary Cavern Club to a theatre near you.
