The most famous club in the world celebrates 55 years with Solihull Music Service.

Liverpool’s iconic Cavern Club is celebrating its 55th birthday by inviting 200 music students to perform on the same stage as superstars Sir Paul McCartney, Dave Gilmore, Arctic Monkeys and Adele.

Celebrations will include a visit from Liverpool’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Frank Prendergast who will meet the Mayor of Solihull, Councillor Irene Chamberlain and, along with 200 pupils, will present Cavern Club owners with a giant 55th Birthday card filled with personal messages.

The day marks Solihull Music Services’ annual pilgrimage to the Cavern Club where students, aged between 12 and 18 years old, perform 20-minute sets of their own material on the world famous Cavern Club stage. Solihull Music Services works in partnership with pupils and schools to provide equipment and opportunities for music making.

Cavern Club owner Dave Jones said: “We have an ongoing relationship with Solihull Music Services after they started bringing pupils to visit us almost four years ago. We were extremely impressed with the musical ability we saw and since then we have honoured our commitment to fostering new music talent by inviting them back for our birthday. The Cavern Club isn’t just about Liverpool’s great music legacy but about the music of today and the musicians of the future.

“We have also made each performer an honorary member of our new Cavern Club membership scheme which launches today. The Cavern started as a members club and we feel that now is the right time to go back to our roots. Those who sign up will have access to exclusive content on our website along with other 'member only' benefits.”
