About this audio guide
This guide to the Cavern Club on Liverpool's Mathew Street drops you into a weekday lunchtime in November nineteen sixty-one, when a record-shop owner named Brian Epstein and his assistant came down into the cellar on a small errand. It follows the four young men in black leather they found on stage, and the dressing-room exchange with George Harrison. It also traces how the cellar you stand in was filled in and rebuilt. Best heard facing the stage.
