A great street-level history of one of the world's most famous small music venues. This inside story is the real thing. —John May The Generalist

Mini-skirted Debbie Greenberg’s… first-hand, fan’s-eye, gossipy chit-chat and fashion notes have tactile authenticity, from resident DJ, Bob Wooler’s ‘Hi there, all you cave-dwellers,’ to bassist Stuart Sutcliffe standing with his back to the audience ‘so no one could see how he was playing’, and Pete Best (‘sultry, fiercely good-looking and oozed sex appeal’). — Andrew Darlington, R2 magazine

A fab read for any 60s music fan. Richly illustrated with… rare photos, posters and press cuttings... The day Paul McCartney popped in with his new girlfriend, Linda, to show her where the Beatles story began is particularly special. —Simon Fine sixtyplusurfers.com

As a teenager Debbie Greenberg was spending far too much time at the Cavern Club in her hometown of Liverpool, England. It was already the most famous music club in the world, where she had been dazzled by the Beatles’ debut performance and had witnessed their rise to stardom for two years before watching the local heroes leave home.

Then in 1966, after the previous owner declared bankruptcy, her father asked her out of the blue if she thought it would be a good idea to take over the club. It was an offer she couldn’t refuse. She’d been a Cavern fanatic since it was a jazz club, hardly missing a lunchtime or evening rock session until its closure a few weeks before – amid mass protests by Liverpool youth.

Now she was suddenly part of a new family business, faced with the task of helping to breathe new life into the now dilapidated rock ’n’ rollin' launchpad of the legendary Mersey Beat.

This first-hand account of her ten years frequenting and eventually helping to run the original Cavern Club is an authentic inside story of this unique Beatles shrine, full of triumphs and failures – and surprise celebrity encounters.

Richly illustrated with dozens of photos, posters and press clips.

About the Author

Born in 1945 in Liverpool, Debbie Greenberg attended the Morrison School on Greenbank Road and, after passing her eleven-plus, New Heys High School for Girls. Leaving school at seventeen, she started working with her father, Alf Geoghegan, who ran three butcher's shops. By age 20 she was managing the family business and also working part-time as a fashion model. Her life changed forever when her father took over the lease of the Cavern Club in 1966 after the previous owner went bankrupt. Debbie lives with her husband Nigel in Liverpool and partners with him in their 44-year-old business, Solo Security.

Very Good Book, It describes the famous club in detail

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

Very Good Book, It describes the famous club in detail, The story is very entertaining, it list all the famous groups that played there including the Fab Four and the very good Mersey Beat groups ,Interesting anecdotes of the author and of the time in which her Father was the owner of the famous club,The most interesting characters of the place are presented like the compere Bob Wooler, the Doorman Paddy You get the feeling of being there because it is described everything including the odors, the condensation on the walls, the noise and of course the Good Music and ambience. What I liked a lot is that the photographs are placed according to what is being read in the text. My favourite Chapter is the return of Paul Mc Cartney to the club in 1968, and the chapter that tells about the reopening and the fact that the Prime Minister Harold Wilson Attended the re-inauguration of the club from 10 Downing Street to 10 Mathew Street. And the Chapter about the demolition was really sad and surprising You should read to believe what happened.

Reading it felt like I was actually in The Cavern Club for the night

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017

Ever wanted to know the history of The Cavern in Liverpool, this tells you the story of how a determined man and his daughter really made this club famous. I loved hearing the story's of the bands that played and also of Cilla Black working there. I started reading it on a Saturday night and I couldn't put it down until I read it to the very end. I live in Los Angeles now, but was born and raised in Liverpool. I actually felt I was back there for the night. I have personal family history involved when the club moved across the road and became Eric's. This told me what the Cavern was like for the later part of the 60's. Highly recommended for all The Beatles fans and those with an interest in Liverpool. Fun easy read.

Great history of The (original) Cavern

Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

I visited the Cavern (original venue is closed), in England and this book presented a great history from its founding and early history to when it closed. Easy, enjoyable read. The book, as opposed to my KINDLE edition, would have been better for the photos and memorabilia...very hard to read and distinguish on KINDLE (hence just a 4 star rating)

TOP MARKS FOR A REALLY GREAT BOOK.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2017

I have recently purchased a book from you, which is titled, CAVERN CLUB. THE INSIDE STORY, by Debbie Greenberg. After reading the book, I feel gripped with amazement, as it is such a fascinating story, and so well documented with the wonderful pictures in it. Clearly, alot of hard work has been put into writing this truly fantastic book, and I realize how lucky people were to visit this magical club, in its day. Any person who likes The Beatles, and Merseybeat, or anyone for that matter, I would thoroughly recommend them to buy this book, and they will get a real insight, as to how things really were then.
