The Casbah Coffee Club was a rock and roll music venue in West Derby Liverpool started by Mona Best in 1959 in the cellar of the family home. The Casbah as it became widely known was planned as a members-only club for Best’s sons Pete his younger brother Rory and their friends. Mona came up with the idea of the club after watching a TV report about The 2i’s Coffee Bar in London’s Soho where several singers had been discovered.
