Bill Heckle, chairman of Cavern City Tours, the company behind the new Cavern Club in Liverpool, has revealed plans to open identical venues in Adelaide, Sao Paulo, Rio, Marbella, Miami and New York.
Heckle said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to spread the name of the Beatles and the Cavern Club around the world. We are also talking about bands from Liverpool going on tour to all the new venues."
In each of the new venues the name, images, logos and merchandise would be exactly the same as the original Liverpool version.
