    Default Legendary Liverpool Clubs Of Yesteryear.

    Right me and Victoria have just went one one for about an hour talking about "The Quadrant Park" so there must be a thread in this subject because everyone has special memories of going clubbing,I suppose a quad thread would isolate most people so if you were a regular at a particular club put some of your memories down here.Whether you were there when "The Bier Keller" was kicking off (like me) and Listening to Groundpig has special memories get involved,were you there in "The State all those years ago? Did you go to "The Cavern" at the time of The Beatles or later on like me in the 80's,were you indeed lucky enough to go to the legendary "Erics"?Put down here the time when you were in your heyday and all those special memories.

    I used to go "The Cavern" in the late 80's I absolutely lived for the place,I've had many a great night there."Fallows" I think I used to go to the one in Bootle was it? It used to be a rave and was another top venue.I went to "The State" on and off when it used to be for "The Smiths Crowd" and then you guessed it when it was a rave venue,the place was great when it was used for raves.

    I used to go to "The She Club" occasionally,I can't think why? Le Bateux's on Duke Street Isn't it? One of my mates is in a band and he played there and the sordid story he told me about there would make you hair curl and isn't for a forum like this,think swingers.

    You know what I hate Joy Division but it's not a bad thing to have on your cv is it? I'd would have much preferred to see bands like The Clash,The Jam,The Sex Pistols or even some of the great Liverpool bands that club spawned,but that's just me being anti manc I suppose.

    I always thought "The 051" was a bit shady but I went there loads of times.I reckon everyone's been "The Grafton" at some stage and I still see crowds of people pouring out of there at closing times.

    I think The Grafton and The She Club were the only places you could go to and the women would buy your ale.

    Early 60's Cavern & Kasbah. Green Door. Locano and Grafton, tho. I'd hardly call them 'clubs.' Not then anyway. When I remember more I'll post them.

    Didn't the She club have something to do with ladies of the night?

    They used to be known as 'Pick up joints' ! .. two other places for 'pick ups' where The Montrose and Pickwicks !

    I hated them kind of clubs - real naff !

    I went to the Cavern early 70s. Also Erics later on - but only when reggae bands were playing ! Wasn't into anything else - only black music.
    There were some great live bands and singers on clubs like The Mardi and the Victoriana. (The likes of Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson Picket, Edwin Star, etc)

    We used to go to Soul music clubs and Reggae blues dances

    ... God, this thread makes me feel old !! ... and I am !!

    PHP Code:
    They used to be known as 'Pick up joints' !  .. two other places for 'pick ups' where The Montrose and Pickwicks 
    Of course the montrose and pickwicks(which had another slightly different name to young lads) I never actually went to either but I heard enough about them.I'll bet you The Cavern was brilliant no matter what decade you went there,I loved it,and I think Erics only lasted a few years but the impact it had on the local music scene can't be underestimated,i think you were lucky to have been a part of it.
