That's a pretty good wage for 1961 considering I was on a Work Experience programme scheme in 1979 on £16.55 - I think one of maggie's first.

The name rings a bell. Can you remind me where it was.
I think I've been there but can't recall where it was.
Yes, I used to go to Reflections. Part of Daley's Dandelion, Dale st. Houllians bar was also part of it.
You've got me wondering now , Gloria from the Gladray , Does anyone know if she had a daughter Collette, ? If so i still bump into Col now & again , Was the Gladray on Parli ?
I loved Flintlocks & Chauffeurs ,Ged where you on the door at Chauffeurs ? If so i remember ya , always got in for nowt
I worked at the original cavern club as assistant back stage & business partner to Bob Wooler.
I put many a face on stage and quite honestly can't remember many. However, two infamous, and melodic characters stick in my mind some 46/47 years later.
The most memorable are, Long John Baldry and Mose Allison.
Both great Whiskey drinkers and both memorable for that fact alone.
Long John slept on the office floor all afternoon, before his set, the whole of the office was taken up with John sleeping and snoring with a bottly of whiskey on his chest and his set, that evening, was amazing.
Mose Allison made the old upright, out of tune, piano to the right & back of the stage jump with melodic riffs of amazing clarity as he sipped his flat bottle of whiskey by taking it out, occasionally, of his old mackintosh coat with a 'sure' microphone leaning on his right arm.
What memories! what music!
Thanks for the opportunity to share memories of the old original and criminally demolished cavern club with you. George Roberts.

I remember Dutch Eddies,a load of us from Dinos in wood st
went for a ride up there one night back in the mid 60,s I don't remember the name of the road it was on, but it was just before a railway Bridge. Dinos was facing the Swan in Wood St, steel doors that opened inward and down the stairs
you, couldn't go in the Swan then as it was to posh for the likes of us. But we got it in the end.Power to the throttle.
