Rory Storm and the Hurricanes were one of the top bands in
Liverpool between 1959 and 1962, bigger even than The Beatles. They
shared the bill with the Fab Four on many occasions in their home
city and in Hamburg, and their first drummer was none other than
Richard Starkey - better known as Ringo Starr - who left the
Hurricanes to join the Beatles. The Hurricanes were leading lights
of the burgeoning 'Mersey Sound' and a pulsating live act, led by
their charismatic front man, Rory Storm. Born Alan Caldwell, Rory
was a natural performer who wooed crowds with his stage antics,
once even diving from a swimming pool high board halfway through a
song. But, despite the band's huge local following, fame somehow
passed them by. Frontman Rory suffered from a crippling stammer
and, though unaffected while on stage, it seemed to deter record
companies. As their fellow Liverpudlians enjoyed huge international
success, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes drifted into obscurity,
finally ending in tragedy. Anthony Hogan has painstakingly
researched the lives and careers of Rory Storm and The Hurricanes
in this fascinating and moving account of one of the great untold
rock 'n' roll stories, featuring over 100 photographs, many unseen
before in public.
