Mersey Beat

Playlist by Algernon

Beat music spread outside Liverpool though the influence was more R&B and later just Blues. Local beat scenes were found in places like Birmingham, Belfast, Newcastle and London. R&B bands benefited from beat music as well. By 1965, beat music was in decline with many bands disbanding or changing direction by 1967.

Playlist by the Pig’s Arms Musicologist – Algernon

Merseybeat had its beginnings at the Cavern Club. This list looks at the bands that played there often under the management or influence of Brian Epstein. It looks at the early years the early 60’s. These bands should be well known.

How do you do it – Gerry and the Pacemakers

Sweets for my sweet – The Searchers

Love of the loved – Cilla Black

Love me do – The Beatles

Some other guy – The Big Three

Hippy Hippy Shake – The swinging blue jeans

It’s love that really counts – The Merseybeats

The Fortune Teller – The Merseybeats . 

These bands not as well known, some still playing today others disbanded a few years after. All had their start at the Cavern Club.

Angel of love -The Black knights

You don’t know what love is – The Dennsions

Hello little girl – The fourmost 

Stupidity – Kingsize Taylor and the dominoes

Diddly daddy – The Liverbirds

Who told you – Freddy Star and the Midnighters

Just a little bit – The undertakers

Not really from Liverpool but not far away in Manchester, these bands also had their start at the Cavern Club.

I’m telling you now – Freddie and the Dreamers

I’m into something good – Hermans Hermits

Just one look – The Hollies

What with times like these, what househhold can do without their own Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile System ?

Fortunately, the god people from Pig-Tel bring you your own personal ICBM.

But wait, there’s more. The Pig-Tel ICBM comes in the handy dandy USB format – just plug it into your PC or Mac, program in your favourite destination target and blast away your cares.

One of these little babies would be a diverting Mothers’ Day gift and give mum one or two unforgettable lockdown evenings.

Now who wouldn’t want Pig-Tel to rush an ICBM over to their place ?

You could have one today (in about ten minutes, actually) by sending us your approval to plunder access your bank account and with ten monthly easy payments of just $4 million, and a Pig-Tel ICBM will be winging its way to you.

Postage not required and definitely handle with care.

Not sure where exactly to post this as this pub seems to have far fewer rooms than it used to have… but I know it will at least be seen here, so here is where I’ll post it.

I’d have posted it much sooner, but I had a ‘medical emergency’ a week ago Friday and only got out of hospital on Wednesday. No, NOT COVID 19 (or so they tell me, anyway!) But it was a very nasty bout of pneumonia complicated by pulmonary embolisms. I’ll be on anti-coagulants for the next six months…

Anyway, here goes… Hope you all enjoy this video of me in my (motorized) kayak sailing past the wreck of the Santiago in the North Arm of the Port River, just behind Garden Island. The background music is me, playing Fleetwood Mac’s “Albatross” on my Epiphone ‘Dot’.

If you enjoy this, I have a few more videos (some with, and some without music) that I’d like to post, to share what I’ve been doing for the past few years with you all. If you watch it on a big screen it’s almost as good as being there!
