Info from Wikipedia Eric's Club, sometimes called Liverpool Eric's, was a music club in Liverpool, England. It opened on 1 October 1976 in the basement of The Fruit Exchange in Victoria Street, with performances by The Runaways and The Sex Pistols (their only Liverpool gig) before soon moving around the block to its long-term site on Mathew Street opposite The Cavern Club where The Beatles and other bands of the 1960s played, and became notable for hosting early performances by many punk and post-punk bands.
The club lasted until March 1980. Later the club reopened as Brady's, to last some 12 months before closing.
In October 2011, a new venue called ‘Erics Live’ was opened by a local Liverpool business person and entertainment consultant Ethan Allen. Although occupying a close location, a little further down Mathew Street, the new owner and venue have no connection with the original club.
