Hey! Do any of you Liverpudlians know if there is a "VIP Party" this year at Beatle Week - last year it was held in the Cavern Pub on Tuesday night. AL

I don't know for sure but there has been for many years now so I don't think this year will be any different.

Have you been to a VIP party before? I accidently ended up in one at the Cavern pub on a said Tuesday night (I do love Beatleweek Tuesdays at the Cavern and Cavern pub BTW - been going for years). As far as I could tell it was basically just a momumental piss up for Bill Heckle and his mates. Ringer and Tripper normally play but being the great Scots people they are they were nearly as pissed as Heckle. And that's saying something!

Yeah, I managed to get into the VIP party last year - Ringer were playing then too! Problem was, I was absolutely dead after so many boozey late nights and could only manage an hour! I'd love to go to this year and spend more time there this time though! If the VIP party is on Tuesday night, I may book another night's stay at the Adelphi.

We must have bumped into each other at one time in the cavern pub. Or more likely spill a pint on each other!

Yes, VERY likely!! We'll arrange another Beatle Forum meet and greet this year - probably start in the Grapes, migrate to the Cavern Pub then maybe the AHDN Hotel! Once we have an idea of who's playing and where, we can sort it out properly.

Hi all, The VIP Party has usually been the party on the Monday after 11.00 pm in the Adelphi. The party / lock-in in the Cavern Pub on the Tuesday night used to be a party for staff and regulars of the pub. In recent years, everyone who happened to be in the pub after 11.00 pm has been allowed to stay. For me, it has always been one of the best nights of the festival as bands who don't usually play together get up on stage and just jam (eg. Ringer with Tripper/Rocks Off/Kappa; in the past Gavin Pring with various other artists). Must have bumped into you, Al, in the pub a few times. Wilf (a Cavern Pub regular and big Ringer fan)
