Rhumba, how did you get that close access to that equipment? You must know somebody or be somebody huh? Surely they don't let the general public go there! Lucky or important man! 8)
Is it real or replica?


Haha, Well I never saw myself as important fhop, so I guess I must be lucky. However, anybody lay so much as a finger on that plated glass and alarms will go off and about six huge security guys will have you down before you can say....WOAH !!! :lol:
Yes, it is on public view, you could walk up that close fhop. But nobody touches. It looks real but not certain, the darkness of the club and the bright lights in the case kinda throws the senses.
It's a strange experience being in there for guy's like us, it's real, yet all seems unreal in this weird kind of way. Go to the bar and buy a beer and are you drinking beer ?.......know what I mean ? It's hard to describe.
And then I didn't have time to dwell in any one place, I had a lot to get through that day, other locations to get too. A quick snap and then move on.
Paul McCartney's house felt the strangest. So simple. Such ordinary guy's that rehearsed inside there with this enormous talent that was to explode on the world. People walking up to it with camera's. Mini buses stopping outside, with a guide explaining it all. And the neighbours not batting an eyelid. Yes, it felt......unreal.....yet it was real.
I think you know what I mean. It's probably a musician thing.
Cheers.

Rhumba gets my vote for winner, and i dont like the beatles that much. Being snapped next to those guitars is the ultimate. You should of put a mop top on, grabbed one and struck a pose though mate.

Rhumba please send me a copy of em. Total class mate.


Hi Ninja,
I don't think I would have got that close, my hand would have been lopped off, yeah it's look but don't touch. I didn't even have time to read what was on the plaques, I had a lot to get through that day pal, so much to see.
Sorry man but what do you mean by ' send you a copy ' I'm unclear on that. If it's the photo can't you save it to your comp. My pictures ?
Or do you mean something else ?
Anyway, good to hear from ya mate and thanks.
Cheers. :D

Inside the Cavern there are lots of nooks, where you can sit, have a drink and have a good time. :D

Ok, I'll call this my last one. I was trying to get John Lennon's name on the plaque. I think you can just make it out.
So thanks for coming on this journey around Liverpool, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Cheers folk's :D

Very Cool pics Rhumba! I'm glad you shared them with us. Must have had good vibes just being there where all that history was made.

This doesn't show very much but it is important in that, it is the original entrance to the Cavern Club. It say's so just above the doorway if you can make it out. It's only a few metres from the one used now. This is the entrance I used all those years ago and back then, just inside the doorway were plaques on the wall saying the Beatles played here 290 times, or something like that.
