SAVE THE CAVERN CLUB


SAVE THE CAVERN CLUB
The Issue
To Beatles fans all around the world, The Cavern Club is a mecca and bucket list item to visit with the likes of crossing Abbey Road.
Mayor Joe Anderson has warned Liverpool could lose the famous Cavern Club forever due to coronavirus.
The mayor said the city's music scene "is in peril" as the club prepares to reopen after lockdown at just 30% of its full capacity.
It has been reported that the club, made famous by The Beatles and countless other musical greats down the years, has been losing £30,000 a week since the beginning of the pandemic.
And those in charge say that the Cavern is facing financial ruin if they don't receive some help from the government.
Bill Heckle, one of the directors of the club and Cavern City Tours, said the pandemic has been the most challenging time of his life.
He said: "We made a decision a few years ago to keep as much money in the bank as possible for a rainy day, not realising it was going to be a thunderstorm.
This petition calls on The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England to list The Cavern Club as a historical landmark and save this piece of rock and roll history and for The UK Government to provide funding and financial relief to The Cavern Club for future generations to enjoy for many years to come!
