A campaign has been organzied on the internet to raise money to save a historic Liverpool venue that was the site of the first ever gigs that featured Paul McCartney and John Lennon playing together.
As we have reported, the New Clubmoor Hall is in danger of being demolished. The two played their first gig there in October, 1957. The first picture of Paul McCartney and John Lennon together, in white shirts and string ties, was taken there by Leslie Kearney on Nov. 23, 1957. (See the photo here.)
Now the site is in danger of being torn down unless enough money is raised to save it. A web page has been set up to collect donations through PayPal. The organizers say that Clubmoor Hall is still a big part of the local community and deserves to be preserved by Beatle fans for historical reasons and Liverpool residents because it is a functioning social club.
