It's a little known fact that Freddie Mercury (under his real name, Farrokh Bulsara) made his first on-stage debut with Brian May and Roger Taylor at Liverpool's famous: 'The Sink Club' - now known as The Magnet.
The original membership card to gain entry to the sink club was by a numbered rubber plug on a chain.
Here is a bootleg recording of Freddie with the short-lived Liverpool band Ibex taken at the The Sink Club.
There is another Liverpool link: this one ties the Beatles to Queen.
Rumour has it, that Freddie once lived on Penny Lane.
It's a popular story that Freddie once lived in Dovedale Towers - now a pub.
If anyone has any images of Freddie in Liverpool i'd love to see them.
