I don't ever remember one.
Had a look through some books containing old Liverpool photos and can't find a bandstand. I do recall the MPTE band playing there in the 1970s, but they set chairs up for those concerts.
I remember bands playing there too, and I recall the chairs.Quote:

It could have been one of these that may have coursed the confusion.
That's the one, I think the word "ICE" was on it's sign....:^) It was essentially in the middle of the square, right...Quote:
