Eric's Club, Music venue in Mathew Street, Liverpool, England
The Eric's Club occupied the basement of a building across from the Cavern Club, featuring a dimly lit performance space and concrete walls.
Roger Eagle, Ken Testi, and Pete Fulwell established the club in 1976, transforming it into a central hub for punk and post-punk music until 1980.
The venue hosted performances by Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joy Division, and helped launch local bands Echo & the Bunnymen and Dead or Alive.
The club operated on a membership system with separate afternoon shows for people under 18, allowing younger audiences to experience live performances.
The final concert at Eric's featured The Psychedelic Furs with Wah Heat, recorded for John Peel's radio session before police closed the venue.
