Cavern club founder dies in retirement in France

Jan 12 2006

Liverpool Echo

THE man who opened Liverpool's Cavern club has died in France.

Alan Sytner started the Mathew Street nightspot after being inspired by clubs in Paris.

The Cavern opened on January 16, 1957, in a warehouse basement which had been used as an air raid shelter.

Opening acts included The Merseysippi Jazz Band. The Beatles performed nearly 300 times at the club between 1961 and 1963.


Mr Sytner went on to launch one of Britain's biggest BMW dealerships.


Solicitor Rex Makin said: "After selling the Cavern he lived in Nottingham before retiring to Cannes."

Rest in peace.
I remember The End wrote a great piece about the history of the Cavern Club on this board. I'll try to find it.
