..and speaking of Liverpool, the history of legendary punk/new wave club "Eric's" is now available as a big, fat book wonderfully entitled "Liverpool Eric's : all the best clubs are downstairs, everybody knows that... " by Paul Whelan & Jaki Florek is now available through Feedback or amazon.

Eric's was the venue in Liverpool from 1976 -1980. Its impact on the Merseyside music scene is legendary.

Eric's, like the Cavern Club before, provided a stage for talented local groups to explore their musical abilities and interests with like-minded people. The club staged music rarely heard in other city centre venues - everything from jazz, reggae and folk music to performance art and poetry, and especially punk.
