Cavern

[cillapink]

I worked in the Cavern (The New one!) in 1989, It was where I met my hubby! He used to come in at the weekends and HAUNT me! Heh! Heh! I know it wasnt anythin LIKE the heydey of the 60's, but it still had a great atmosphere, it was always packed out and still retained a certain quirkiness. Ron the DJ, and the obligatory 'Unchained Melody' at the end of the night.....(funny how that song always reminds me of cleanin ashtrays innit?)
I worked there in the evening but also on the lunchtimes, when it was a pound a pint and all the oldies used to come in for a cheap pint or two, I remember Dave Jones Mum comin in every day , we used to have good chats me and Mrs Jones (aint that a song?), I often wonder what happened to her , I thought she was LOVELY, a character, she used to go to St Johns market for her shoppin and come in and get a bag of spicy chicken wings out her bag and go 'there you are, have one of these'......lovely lady.
I'm glad its now back in the hands of people who are so passionate about the history of it, thats what it needs, its a landmark and part of our heritage.....and Im always proud to say I worked there and met my Hubby there.

Hi Cilla and Tricia,
I took my sis in law and her hubby to The Cavern when they visited here from Singapore in 2005. Didn't have the heart to tell them it was the new one. They're Beatles mad and were gobsmacked to visit there.

Cilla, I see you're from Fazakerley. One of my brothers lives on the Field Estate.
