About The Jacaranda

The Jacaranda on Slater Street (L1 4BW) is one of Liverpool's most historically significant music venues — opened in 1958 by promoter Allan Williams, it was an early haunt of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Stuart Sutcliffe, who played here as The Silver Beetles and painted murals in the basement (still visible) as payment for rehearsal space. Today the roughly 120-capacity venue is busier than ever: live bands play every Friday and Saturday with free midnight shows (Indie Rock Circus on Fridays, Rock N Roll Circus on Saturdays), and open mic runs on Thursdays and Sundays. Jacaranda Records occupies the top floor, making it a full music hub of bar, stage and record shop.
