Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s 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...

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s 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...

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s In that case, Jay, I'll take it as read that they never appeared there...a pity as it would have been a good name to add to the list, which is quite impressive anyway for a small town.

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s Something just occurred to me about this...although Cream never played in Accy, did Eric Clapton? I remember somebody on Accyweb saying that they saw the Yardbirds at the Con. So the question is, was...

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s Yep, they definitely did, Mr C, on July 29th, 1966. I was a bit sceptical at first, as they didn't seem like the type of band that would play at the Wheel. However, you've got to remember that they...

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s Susan, the reason I suggested the Wheel is that Cream played their first ever date there and Mayall played both the Brazennose Street Wheel and the Whitworth Street Wheel on numerous occasions....

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s 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

Replies: 87 Accy clubs in 60s Views: 5,339 Posted By Wynonie Harris Re: Accy clubs in 60s Reckon you're right, Jay. Never went there, but after having heard about it, the Cavern sounds more the sort of venue that Champion Jack would play at. It's just the mention of Knowlmere St that...
