Sounds like a hub of thriving activity back in the day. Always has a closed, deserted air about it when I walk past, although it might be because it's always around five on a Saturday.

I'm very fuzzy about where the Cavern was, but it seems it was the Arts I went to, looking at Wynonie's picture.

The Cavern was on the corner of Milnshaw Lane and Castle Street, right next to the viaduct. It was in the cellar of a stonebuilt 3/4 storey building. Think it might have been a printers (Ward Knowles?). Long gone now, of course.

I don't remember the Spring Hill place, Jaysay, but do you remember the catholic youth club on Lock St in Ossy? The priest used to come round to make sure we were all behaving ourselves. For some reason I remember 'You really got me' by the Kinks and 'Louie Louie' by whoever it was being really popular. Everybody got up and danced to those and by dancing I mean it was some kind of conga thing. LOL!

Was the subject of a 2-year investigation by the FBI for supposedly obscene lyrics. They finally concluded what the rest of us already knew - the lyrics are simply "unintelligble"! :D

I never knew that, but by the power of google, I learnt that you had to play the 45rpm single at 33 1/3 in order to unveil the offensive lyrics. It's all here:
Louie Louie lyrics

Father O'sullivan was a real tarter Sue, your right about him policing the youth club, that's why I stopped going and went to the mount pleasant Methodist youth club instead:D:D
