If we have not already done it, who remembers "The Witches Cauldron" club in Albion Street, New Brighton?

I believe it was a Rhythm n Blues club run by Clive Williams in the 60s. He brought over some Merseybeat acts to play there as well.

No! but had a few lost nights in there as well. "W.C." was on the corner, opposite Hotel Victoria, in the cellar under what I think was a chemist's shop.

What about the Kraal Club I think it was down on the waterfront. It was a series of cellars with a bar and sitting room upstairs.

Remember it well. Run by John Stanley. No booze when I went there. Same place as where R.J.'s is now.
