Eric's: here for a good time, not a long time

National Museums Liverpool Podcast - Een podcast door National Museums Liverpool - Donderdagen

In four short years, the Eric's club in Liverpool became legendary for its international roster, raucous punk antics and youth centric outlook. Eric's was an impromptu 'school of music' and key to the rise of famous Liverpool bands and figures of the late 70s and early 80s; from Echo & the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, to Pete Burns, Pete Wylie and many more. In this episode, co-owner Ken Testi, shares his story of how the club came to be a seedbed of fresh talent in the city, as well as host to some of the greatest acts of all time, from the Sex Pistols to the Ramones.
