First Liverpool Beat Show

Friday 11th December saw the first in a number of Liverpool Beat concerts bringing the MerseyBeat sound back to the dance halls. At the Guild Hall in Formby, three bands Searchin', The Lackies and The Chris Rimmer Band played to a packed house in what turned out to be a sensational night for the boys. Just under 200 people turned up for the first of what looks like to be many shows reliving the times when Friday night was dance night and folks just wanted to dance, have a few drinks and laugh. It was great to see so many young people in the audience who seemed to enjoy the music as much as the oldies. Here are a few clips of the night and some great interviews of the stars of the Liverpool beat.

Artys Merseybeat

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.
