INDEX
There are thousands of musicians and bands mentioned in the text and a full index would cover 30 pages. This index concentrates on acts which played the Cavern and group members are usually only listed when they are speaking about something other than their group. So for example, the Swinging Blue Jeans references incorporate all the comments from individual members and the entry for lead singer Ray Ennis are for when he is talking about something else.
