Eric's: Looking Back

College documentary on Eric's in the 70's featuring Jayne Casey and Doreen Allen.
I was given permission to use Big In Japan songs.
Sorry about the dodgy images from the interview. The compressor used didn't like the colour correct.

Great memories for me, matinee shows 78 to 80, great bands, going into Probe, then seeing great bands

I remember seeing her at Eric's: I remember her lovely face, with a bald head and a few little plats on her forehead. Good to see you again! July 2021

Lovely to see Jayne looking so well after all these years!Eric's was special...Where else could you see New Wave bands and then reggae and even soul.I used to sketch bands from the audience...in charcoal on white paper cos spot lights were red which neutralised seeing true colour. I was lucky enough to meet Woodstock star Richie Havens through Roger and was allowed on stage to sketch. Privileged!!

@@robertjackson9921 Richie Havens?! I am green with envy! You are lucky!

Graffiti in Eric's ladies' toilets: Someone wrote "Big in Japan". Someone else wrote: "Small in Liverpool".

[@teodelfuego]

Strange to see Jayne dressed to look like Maggie Thatcher

It would be great to see a video about Planet X which came later after Eric's.

Good memories thank you ...... An inspirational club that I loved working in to the day it closed X

[@apemoon1731]

I visited Liverpool for the first time a couple of years ago.
I was very keen to drop by Eric's. Unfortunately, it's just another bar now, complete with the annoying twat outside 'encouraging' you to go inside ☹️
