The Magnet is situated in one of Liverpool’s famous Georgian buildings in the architecturally rich area of the City known as the Cultural Quarter. Surrounded by the City’s best restaurants, within spitting distance of the Royal Philharmonic Hall and the famous Everyman theatre and close to the university campus’ and halls. The Magnet is well out of the area of the City where the stag and hen parties wreak their booze crazed havoc. The Magnet is 50 this year and has an illustrious and iconic place in Liverpool’s musical history. Originally, the street level bar was called the ‘Rumblin’ Tum’ and the basement the ‘Sink Club’. It was one of the city’s first black music venues and entry was by way of a numbered sink plug on a short length of chain which proved membership. As the City’s other iconic clubs have come and gone The Magnet has been sitting quietly up on Hardman Street at the forefront of the Liverpool live music scene all the time. Freddie Mercury first played with Brian May in a band called Ibis at the Sink Club and there seems to be very few bands and performers that at some point in their careers haven’t graced the dark red stage. Following a brief period in the early 90’s as a tapas bar, the venue was extensively refurbished and re-named as The Magnet in 1998. A couple of years later, the main room was extended and the sound system upgraded to include a world class Funktion ONE with an awesome 13.8 KW amp stack driving the enormous speakers. Magnet as we now know it was born. info@rainbowtravelonline.com |
