Question: is the cavern club in liverpool the original

Answer: No, Soon after the Cavern club closed in 1973, a new Cavern club re-opened at 7 Mathew Street, later re-named the Revolution Club. In 1984, this club was taken over by Liverpool F.C. player Tommy Smith and rebuilt with bricks from the original Cavern club. The new design was to resemble the original as closely as possible. This was a period of massive economic and political change in and around Liverpool and the club only survived until 1989, when it came under financial pressures and closed for 18 months. In 1991, two friends--schoolteacher Bill Heckle and taxi driver Dave Jones--reopened it. They still run the club today and are now the longest-running owners in its history. The club continues to function primarily as a live music venue. The music policy varies from 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s classic pop music to indie, rock and modern chart music.
