"The Beaker cafe was a great venue for live bands, I used to sing in a group called The Versatile Five and we played there about 1960. We had a drummer who guested once called Red Nichols. Our guitarist played back up to Eddie Cochran/Gene Vincent at the Gaumont and we were allowed on stage as they rehearsed. We were based at the Gigi cafe across the road. Don from Dons Motors round the corner in Gosford Street and supplied all the equipment. Anybody got any more memories of this?" Roy (in The Historic Coventry site )
