Either way it'd be another name to add to the select roll-call of stars who have appeared in the town...Jon Anderson (of course), Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Kiki Dee, Van Morrison. Anybody recall seeing the Yardbirds at the Con?

Just spoke to a friend I used to go out with and she says she says we saw Eric Clapton and she's almost sure it was at the Cavern. Perhaps this is why I got mixed up. Is it possible Wynonie??

Clapton was in John Mayalls "Bluesbreakers" fer awhile sue, perhaps he was with em when yeh saw Mayall? wherever that was?

i still got the "Bluesbreaker" album n clapton is on it.

Clapton was with Mayall between April '65 and August '65. Then after a break in Greece, between Nov '65 and May '66. So if Mayall played at the Cavern between any of those dates, you could well be right, Sue.

he could have played the cavern, i don't remember, though thats not saying a lot fer some of the states i got into.

He could have done but I'm a bit doubtful. Isaac, Florrie and many other Deck dwellers were huge Mayall and Clapton fans and I'm sure that if he'd played there, the event would have entered into local legend and would have been mentioned on here before now. Could be wrong, though.

However, just had another thought, Cashy. Clapton joined a Liverpool band called Casey Jones & The Engineers in Oct '63. He only played with 'em for a few weeks, but could he have played the Cavern with this lot? Was the club open in late '63?

thought it was later n that when the cavern opened, i left school easter 63, am near sure it wasn't open that year, perhaps Darwendosser can remember?

Looks like it could remain a mystery unless someone comes along to enlighten us!

Can't really see that happening Wyn, after all these threads are run on the memories of people like ourselves, and lets face it the memories are fading faster these days, sadly

Wynonie, you are waking up brain cells that I thought were lain to rest. The name Florrie, !! enlighten me as I'm sure I should remember and it certainly rings a bell.
As regards the Cavern I think it opened in about late 65-66

Florrie? Kevin Florentine, drummer with the Francis T. Construction and man about town in the 60's. I'm sure you must've known him...your Al certainly did. He's still seen around town these days...Cashy regularly has a chat with him.
