There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
I was still me me shorts when the cavern was thriving :)
Had to get a magnifier out to look at your pics. :slywink:
ha ha. I dont know why they never came up as thumbnails, maybe someone on here may be able to rectify it. Errummmm I dont remember the Cavern either George Just thought I would put it on for effect.. ha ha.
Lovely thread Linda . Is that New Brighton fun house ? or Southport ?
Southport, Where I used to go quite often with my friend, spent hours in there.

We used to play there when it was just Trad Jazz only, and skiffle groups played when the Jazz band had a break, we have played alongside such greats as Acker Bilk, Chtis Barber and Otterly Paterson, Merseysippy jazz band etc and lots more that I forgot. There was no alcohol in those days, the band would get a pass out and go across the road to I think The White Star,( do correct me if im wrong) all they had in the Cavern was coffee or soft drinks, how times have changed Our group was called The Darktown Skiffle group ringo Starr played drums with us in the early days, Rory Storm was called the Raving Texans in those days.A lot has changed since those days.
I forgot to mention that I was still going to school in1957 !! and Ringo was plain old Ritchie Starky. He played with both us and Rory Storm , because there where only a few drummers who had a full kit of drums, so some nights Ritchie would get payed twice , when both groups where on the same bill, always The Jive Hive in Crosby (St Lukes hall ).

I like this version
I agree GD, brilliant
Brilliant song and even youngster like me can relate to it. But due to all the years spent working away from Liverpool I find "The Long and Winding Road" more poignant to me personally.
I think that pub you used to pop in to Keith was the Grapes. If I remember rightly, it was not the size it is now. I seem to remember it being half the size.
Represents a magnificent achievement, but cringeworthy video - sorry.Quote:

Or of course we could just go for something boring like The Beetles, but make it a bit more funkier, a play on words. Beat as in the beat of music, So hey, What do you think to The Beatles?????? I think that would be a great idea, and you never know one day they might have a hit record.
Whats wrong with it ?Quote:

Yes you are right Pablo, it was the pub almost opposite to the Cavern, the White Star was further down on the same side as the Cavern.Quote:
