LIVERPOOL MUSIC HERITAGE TRAIL – Sink Club
Sink Club 1963 – 1971
“I loved it because there was no discrimination on the door. Anyone was allowed in regardless of race, age or creed…it was a melting pot… It couldn’t and hasn’t been bettered in Liverpool.”
Ken Barney, Sink regular, 2006
Positioned at the top of the street, the basement club was owned and managed by music entrepreneur Neil English, who also owned Neil’s Corner (a chic boutique on Bold Street).
Created as an alternative to the Merseybeat sound, The Sink was a soul club. It took an idiosyncratic approach to all it did. Proof of membership was a sink plug.
