Opening
on Valentines Day 1991, the Cavern Club was
aimed at promoting new, underground bands that had up until then, few
outlets in the south west.
The first band to perform there was Quicksand. Since then they have
given many new groups a public stage and allowed many favourites to
return. The Hometown Atrocities
consisting of Martin Edmunds, Thom Yorke from Radiohead, Shack from
Lunatic Calm, Paul Symes of Dead Inside and David who runs the club,
promoted many bands both before the Cavern
and since.
Probably the most famous to appear at the Cavern from the perhaps
10,000 acts in total, is Christ Martin with Coldplay.
