Pressetext:
SIR PAUL McCARTNEY: “The Cavern was the breeding ground for what would become the BEATLES” early repertoire, and I will always think of the place with great affection for the days spent with my pals in its sweaty, damp atmosphere.”
Willy Russell: “When we got into the Cavern, we were hit by that fabulous, intoxicating smell of cheap perfume, disinfectant and rotting fruit, which was very heady for 14-year-olds. The BEATLES kicked into Some Other Guy and that was like the end of life for me, and a whole new life began from that very moment.”
Liverpool Sound And Vision: “Spencer Leigh, arguably one of the foremost experts on the times and a journalist and broadcaster of true distinction when it comes to the era and the BEATLES.”
