3 - Episode 3 – Luncheon Beat

Episode 3 – Luncheon Beat This episode concentrates on the Cavern in the beat years. Many opinions on the Beatles in the Cavern and how rough it could be for guest artists (Shadows, Tornados). The Cavern should be praised for the originality of its lunchtime sessions and for having such a distinctive DJ and booker in Bob Wooler. Cilla Black worked in the cloakroom and she was amused by US books which call her “a hatcheck girl” – “Who in Liverpool wore a hat, and certainly not at the Cavern?” Lewis Collins reveals that he owns Paul McCartney’s leather jacket, or at least he did in 1981. Bill Harry created a local newspaper for musicians, Mersey Beat, which was a great idea and he says it was because “Liverpool was becoming like New Orleans at the turn of the century”. Unissued demo of ‘Lend Me Your Comb’ from Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
