Legendary Liverpool Clubs Of Yesteryear.

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.

Anyone remember Reflections? No i thought not.

[lindylou]

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.

The PARADOX at Ormskirk Rd. Aintree was a real Liverpool venue.

Can anyone tell me when this club closed?

Also, where was The She? I've heard a few mentions of this club but don't know where it was.

And of course there was the famous "Shakey" in town.

The She was on Victoria St., and we used to say...."If you wanna divorcee...go to The She"!!!

And The Shakespeare........ well thats where all the "stood-ups" would be...... where the busses stopped, waiting for Mr. No-one!!!

[Ged]

Yes, I used to go to Reflections. Part of Daley's Dandelion, Dale st. Houllians bar was also part of it.

Right me and Victoria have just went one one for about an hour talking about "The Quadrant Park" so there must be a thread in this subject because everyone has special memories of going clubbing,I suppose a quad thread would isolate most people so if you were a regular at a particular club put some of your memories down here.Whether you were there when "The Bier Keller" was kicking off (like me) and Listening to Groundpig has special memories get involved,were you there in "The State all those years ago? Did you go to "The Cavern" at the time of The Beatles or later on like me in the 80's,were you indeed lucky enough to go to the legendary "Erics"?Put down here the time when you were in your heyday and all those special memories.

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.

If you visited the Iron Door Club at 13 Temple Street from 1960 to 1963 I would very much like to hear your stories or see any photos of the day.

I heard that Gloria sadly passed away - but that could be urban myth - who remembers Dutch Eddies???

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.

Dutch Eddies was at 60 upper Parliament St. the real name was the "Tudor Club".
You must have been somewhere else because it was nowhere near a railway bridge.
