We visited Liverpool last year and went to the cavern club for the evening, it is a fantastic place to visit.
The cavern club today is built on 75% of the original site at number 10 Mathew street, with 20,000 original bricks from the 60’s cavern club, it really was a great feeling to be there, if your ever in the city you should go and see for youself.
