‘It’s 1962 and there’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on in a backstreet beat cellar
in Liverpool called the Cavern Club. This is Merseybeat, the sixties sound of
Liverpool, from the depths of Number 10, Mathew St. The ‘Beat Boom’ starts
here and during the next two years ‘Merseymania’ rules the world!
This show features the Cavern Club’s resident Merseybeat combo, The Shakers
and their authentic ‘Maximum Merseybeat’ sound plus some very special
guests. You will hear the big Mersey Sound hits, classic Cavern stompers and a
shot of rhythm & blues (with just a little rock ’n’ roll on the side, just for good
measure) from The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Searchers, Swinging
Blue Jeans, The Merseybeats, The Big Three and many more. It’s the beat
that’s hard to beat!’
