"
Welcome to the best of cellars........" Wooler had, it appears, accidentally bumped into George Harrison and Paul McCartney at a bus stop opposite the Holyoake in the mid-1950s and offered them a date at the club, which they had declined because they had no drummer. He met up with them again after their first Hamburg trip in 1960, getting them a date for £6 at Litherland town hall. In February 1961, and by now working at The Cavern, Wooler got The Beatles their first date at the club before they became the resident band and went on to play there regularly for more than two years. By 1961 he was also regularly contributing a column to the local pop newspaper 'Mersey Beat', writing of The Beatles that "I don't think anything like them will happen again" |
