I remember Cilla White being the part time cloakroom attendant at the Cavern but
never at the Litherland Town Hall.She had a "soft spot" for my mate who used to sing
sometimes at the Mardi Gras.

Tommy I wouldn't argue with you over the cilla in litherland town hall as I thought the Beatles were crap and seen them on st.johns and they were awful and for me it was the big3 and the undertakers were the best

I remember a night we were all at the Iron Door the MC announced the Searchers were number 1 with Sweets for my sweet When we were walking past Bankhall (toward the lane) a copper was walking towards Kevin Riley said the last to stop singing (the High Part Sweets for my sweet ) gets a kick up the arse off the other 4 The copper grabbed Kevin (wrong move) ##** a paddy wagon appeared (as always) Kevin was locked up The magistrate said what is happening in Liverpool at the moment is Amazing the police man should have kept walking HE DIDNT Five pound Fine We all give Kevin a Pound each one of us/ Davey
