The music
The Beatles represent only part of the tradition. The famed Cavern, Mathew Street, the Echo Arena, and some of the greatest live music nights in the North West are all here. Liverpool’s music scene has always been on the rise, but now it has finely tuned underground music nights as well, and it’s a lot cheaper than London. Abandon Silence costs £5, whereas Fabric costs £15.
