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.
There used to be a taxi shelter opposite the Playhouse, also an undergrand Gents toilet, which had circular railings around it.
It could have been one of these that may have coursed the confusion.

The Union Cold Storage company was in the square till about 1970. I remember standing on the balcony of the new(ish) St.John's precinct,watching it being demolished,in my dinner break! It was formerly a theatre theatre,details of which I can't find right now!!???
