7 - Episode 7 - This Empty Place

Episode 7 - This Empty Place The episode opens with a full place as the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, in 1966 is reopening the Cavern. Plenty of tales from the opening and how Alf Geoghegan and Joe Davey were the unlikely owners. Comments on soul legends appearing at the Cavern as well the club dipping into psychedelia with the Klubs. The Cavern was forced to move across the road in 1973, an unnecessary move as it happens, and it closed in 1976, and although the owner Roy Adams, denies it, it was because the Stadium could afford bigger and better acts. In 1981 Cavern Walks was developed and the underground pool under the Cavern is fascinating. I don’t know how I missed the pun that the Beatles walked on water. The first owner of the new Cavern was the Liverpool footballer and hard case, Tommy Hughes.
