See Artys MerseyBeat on the New Forum

Arty Davies one of the originals from the MerseyBeat boom is one of the great stories of the era. Struck down with Polio at an early age, Arty despite his disability became a great drummer. As the years rolled on Arty's condition got worse and he gave up drumming and had to revert to a wheelchair to get about. A few years ago encouraged by members of MerseyCats Arty got up to play again and he has never looked back. Since coming back Arty has played with many of the great MerseyBeat bands and has become a great friend of Faron the MerseyBeat legend. Arty is still playing with The Applejacks. Arty is also one of the great historians of the scene and has compiled his own "Merseypedia" of the bands who played in Liverpool during the sixties.
