Welcome to The Liverpool Beat website, chronicling the history of UK Rock music from the golden era of Merseyside music of the 50s and 60s to the present day. Some say the roots of Rock 'n ' Roll lie purely in the deep south of the USA. That maybe true, but Liverpool in the 50s/60s was the centre of the new wave of music which formed the basis of "garage" and even heavy metal. Liverpool Beat takes you on a journey from those heady days of The Beatles into the 21st century with news, reviews and exclusive articles from the real world of rock music.
Just Like 1964... Except We Didn't Do Tattoos
Amazing Beatles Tattoos
In the audience at Sundays Liverpool Beat show at PAN AM Bar in the Albert Dock we bumped into some of today's Beatles fans, Lynda-Louise and Shanna. Its amazing, that here we are in 2011 and the magic of the Beatles still fires up fans of all ages to pay homage to the FAB four. In the old days fans would scrawl marker pens all over their bodies, but today's fans are much more sophisticated than that.
Picture of Lynda -Louise Lee with her best friend and Beatles fan Shanna Woolsey.
Lynda-Louise Lee, a self confessed Beatles nut who was Rockin and Boppin' at the Shakers gig at the recent Pan Am show, showed her true 'colours' and what a sight to behold! Lynda endured 18 hours of pain to have the most fantastic Tattoo of the Fab four imprinted onto her leg. The Tattoo is also a kaleidoscope of Beatles history, even the Yellow Submarine is there,
Not content with a leg full of Beatles, Lynda-Louise has made a start on her arm with a John Lennon tattoo on the inside of her wrist. The whole effect is amazing, What a fan, what dedication and.... ouch what pain.
What Price A True Fan ?
The whole shebang cost Lynda over £1,300 .00, (just on $2000 )to have it done. Now that is what you call a true fan!
