performances of Merseycats at the Hard Days Night
The try out show for the HDN was a great
success with most of the logistical issues sorted out. For
those who were there, I'm sure you will agree that the
atmosphere was fantastic. The acoustics of the room are
fabulous, which meant that all the bands sounded absolutely
amazing. Tempest began the night and ripped
through their extensive repertoire, the
highlight being Bad Case of
Lovin You which features on their new CD available here.
Tempest gave way to Liverpool's Mr "Rock N
Roll" Piano Mike Byrne
who took us back to the fifties with a raft of Jerry
Lee Lewis rockers. It was then over
to The
Shakers playing for over an hour with their new
line up who were in a word ........SENSATIONAL. It just
reminded me of the Iron Door Club which I
always preferred to the Cavern. I was in
Hari's
Bar when they broke into "I Want To Hold
Your Hand" and I gotta tell you....shivers down the
spine.....who said the Beatles would never play live
again!!!!!!!. Some light relief was offered in the form of an
impromptu Jam Band consisting of yours truly
Ambrose, Pat and
Gary from Beat
Club and Bobby from
Tempest on Drums. Its not often I have to be
cajoled on stage, but after the stress and trauma of organising
the event, I was really not in shape to Bop, which showed with
an interesting introduction to Need Your Love So Bad,
fortunately, Good Ole Chuck Berry rescued me and a serious bit
of bopping ensued. The night closed off with a great set from
the Amazing Paul
Kappawho took an hour to extract
himself from another city centre gig just down the road. He
didn't disappoint with another electric performance. Phew!!,
in all the excitement we all forgot our cameras, so you will
have to take my word for it....It was a Hard
Days Night All Over Again....and we've only
just begun. I managed one grainy shot on my cellphone of
the Shakers and here it
is...
The Second Show at The
Hard Days Night
The 2nd Merseycats show at the HDN was a
raging success with a full house and standing room only.The
bands were great, the atmosphere was great, and we ran out of
chairs. So if you want to make it to the August 30th show book
your tickets now.
The Mersey Beat
Finale
In what is probably the
final opportunity for fans worldwide to
experience the Liverpool
Beat as it really was, with the
original bands from the era,the first two
shows in May and July were a sellout and
upcoming August will be the biggest
yet..
