Horst Fascher manager of the Star Club Hamburg who
first booked the Beatles over there in 1962 is a great guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him
last night at what was an amazing Gig organised by Dave Jamieson of
MerseyRats at the unbelievable Lathom Hall, Liverpool. I think I'm right in
saying that few people have ever heard of the venue which is a disgrace. You'll see what I mean when the videos are
published over the weekend. Horst was over to publicise his new book which we will feature shortly. But back to the
music... the place was packed and the doors were locked (Apologies to Chuck Berry) It was a Who's who of Liverpool
stars of the 60s and the bands were just sensational. You just wouldn't believe this place, its better than the
Cavern, original photos, autographs, memorabilia...outstanding. Use the arrow keys to see all the videos

Carsten, Horst Fascher's friend and the guy behind Horst's new book which is due out in April has been in touch
and guided me to his site which contains some great pictures of Horst's visit to Liverpool and of the night at
Lathom Hall. Click the picture to see all of Carsten's pictures. Horst Fascher was the manager of Hamburg's famous
Star Club and the guy who first took a chance booking the then unknown Beatles.
