“I'm on Mathew Street now and I can hear probably four different strands of Live music going on,” says Jon Keats, director of Music and events at the Cavern Club.
At peak times on the weekend, this wouldn’t be so unusual to hear in the central streets in a number of cities across the UK. But it's early afternoon on a weekday when Jon is talking to the ECHO about what makes Liverpool such a vibrant music city.
In a venue that pays homage to The Beatles' most famous stage, you’d expect to hear your fair share of Merseybeat. This is what you’ll get along the cobblestones of one of the city’s most iconic streets, but it’s anything but a museum - as Jon is keen to point out.
