The Cavern

Wow! back at The Cavern for the first time in 45 years, the Topspots were in fine form and the atmosphere was electric, just like way back then. The new version of The Cavern is located 50 yards further up Matthew Street than the original club and even though the remake is just a little smarter and cleaner, it's a fantastic reconstruction. I have to say; I couldn't make my mind up as to whether or not I missed the strong aroma of bleach and sweat and paddling through who knows what though. The night featured two other MerseyCat bands, The Spidermen and The Lackies, both did great sets and went down well. Myself and the Topspots were to close the evening, what a reception! there were kids from Barcelona and Japan as well as the regulars, they were very enthusiastic and I couldn't get away at the end for having photo's taken with everyone. Yes great to be back.
The bands next gig is on August 14th at Stubbshaw Cross Labour Club in Wigan, if you can get there it will be a great night and features; Shooter, The Clayton Squares, Tempest and of course Ricky Gleason and the Topspots, see you next time.
