FINAL CAVERN CLUB GIG (Room 122)
FINAL CAVERN CLUB GIG (Room 122)
Their very last show at the Cavern Club was on Aug 3rd 1963, which now enjoys the unquestionable boast of being “the most famous club in the world”, simply because it was here that The Beatles were discovered by Brian Epstein.
Supported on this gig by The Escorts it was incongruous that they should be playing such a small venue after all they had three hit singles, a number 1 album, a second one half recorded and a headlining tour of British Theatres under their belt, not to mention their own national fan club, numerous TV appearances and their very own radio programme “Pop Goes The Beatles” on BBC.
As soon as the gig was announced it was immediately sold out. The buzz around the City was amazing and the streets around Mathew Street were packed with their loyal fans. Despite their spiralling success the Beatles kept their obligation to the club’s owner Ray McFall to fulfil their commitment. It certainly was an end of an era. Exact appearances are difficult to count, 274 and 292 are commonly quoted and the truth probably lies somewhere in between the two. However one thing was now certain, the four young Liverpudlians were no longer local property, they were on a national stage now and within six short months of this gig they will have conquered America too.
