On this day in Beatles History...January 16, 1957

The Cavern Club originally opened its doors at 10 Mathew Street, Liverpool, England on January 16, 1957.  Although it first opened as a jazz club, it is most famous for being the live music venue associated with the early years of The Beatles.  In fact, John, Paul and George played there as The Quarrymen before becomming The Beatles.  Although it's difficult to know exactly how many performances The Beatles had at The Cavern Club, most estimates are that the boys performed there just under 300 times!  In March of 1973, the original Cavern Club closed down.  Since then the club has been re-opened and is still a venue for live music.
