A BBC documentary will delve into The Cavern’s origins later this week.
Fronted by Liverpool-born entertainer Ted Robbins, the 30-minute programme will chart the story of the world-famous Mathew Street venue on Friday.
The Cavern’s rich musical heritage is set to be explored as the platform for The Beatle’s launch to international stardom as well as hosting several other huge names.
Queen, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Oasis and Adele have all previously featured at the city centre hotspot, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
Robbins, who is also a cousin of Sir Paul McCartney, speaks to a mixture of music fans who visited The Cavern back in the day and more recent visitors.
Artists who played there and characters who helped shape its development to a global brand are also set to appear in the compilation of interview and archive footage.
The programme opens with a specially-shot title sequence featuring the late Tony Booth, who designed the Cavern’s opening night poster 60 years ago and went on to hand-paint the iconic Beatles posters.
A number of lesser known stories, many of which will be told for the first time, including, Peter Morris, who describes how he and first owner Alan Synter helped to knock down the walls in the cellar to give the venue its distinctive look ready for its opening.
The Cavern: The Most Famous Club in the World will be shown on Friday, February 17 at 7.30pm on BBC One in the North West and will be available on BBC iPlayer for 30 days.
