In the late 1950s, a flourishing musical culture began to emerge in
major UK cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and
London. This was particularly true in the Merseyside area, where an
estimated 350 different groups were active, often playing
ballrooms, jive hives concert halls and clubs. This new music
became known as Merseybeat. Local author and historian Anthony
Hogan has chronicled the fascinating and little-told stories of
many of the characters from that era; the people and the bands who
made a big contribution to the region's rise to rock 'n' roll
prominence. The Beat Makers describes the often-overlooked black
music scene in Liverpool and its importance to Merseybeat, as well
as the amazing story of the Liverbirds, who became the first
all-girl beat band, and Derry Wilkie, the black singer who fronted
a number of different bands and was the first Merseybeat artist to
play in Hamburg and to release a record along with the Seniors. And
with chapters on the great names such as Ted Kingsize Taylor,
Johnny Guitar and Geoff Nugent, The Beat Makers is essential
reading for all self-respecting lovers of rock 'n' roll history.
