In this iconic photo print, taken on the opening night of The Cavern Club in Liverpool on January 15th, 1957, a couple joyfully dances the jive. The Cavern Club, located at 10 Mathew Street, started as a jazz club but quickly became synonymous with the rock and roll scene of the 1960s in Liverpool. It holds a special place in music history as The Beatles performed here during their early years. Sadly, the original Cavern Club closed its doors in March 1973 and was later filled in during construction work. However, it rose from its ashes and reopened on April 26th, 1984. Using many of the original bricks and following the original plans, it stands today as a testament to its rich musical heritage. In this image captured by W.
