Reliving the Beatles' Cavern Days

BBC News talks to Alan McKechnie, a man who used to watch the Beatles when he was just 16 during their Cavern Club days:
It wasn't just the music and the singing, it was their lack of respect for the audience. At the Cavern for those first few gigs, they were quite irreverent to the audience and other people. They were sort of the first punk band. The Beatles were a law unto themselves on the stage.
...
I think the ones who thought that they'd discovered them were a little clique and really did give up on them when the masses found them. It was only when I heard Love Me Do on the radio that I started getting interested in them again.
