The Cavern Club in Liverpool was the
place where the Beatles (formerly known as 'The Quarrymen' and 'The
Silver Beetles') became popular in the UK. The Cavern Club originally
opened as a jazz club on 16 January 1957. 'The Quarrymen' made their
first appearance at the club on 21 February 1957. On 9 February 1961
the group first performed there under their new name 'The Beatles'.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best were first
seen by Brian Epstein at the club on 9 November 1961. Epstein became
their manager and secured them a record contract.
