Rory and the Hurricanes and Ringo - The First rock 'n' roll Club in Liverpool?

The first rock club in Liverpool is often thought of to be The Cavern Club, or the Casbah Coffee Club, but there was a club that opened in 1958 that came before them.

Alan Caldwell lived at 54 Broad Green Road and here you can discover the rich history of the house that was home to Rory Storm and the Hurricanes and The Beatles on many nights. The new rock n roll club, called The Morgue, opened on 13th March 1958 by Alan Caldwell (later known as Rory Storm) it only lasted for a few weeks.

However, joining Al's Texans on the opening night were The Quarrymen (later The Beatles) and the Blue Genes (later the Swinging Blue Jeans). The club wasn't open for long, but it has been mostly overlooked in history. Get Anthony Hogan's book, From A Storm to a Hurricane, on this link
