Bergen Beat meets Merseycats |
||
|
Friday 8th June, Flanagan’s, Mathew Street
Yet another jam night success for Merseycats, this night was arranged off the cuff so to speak with help from David Bedford, Mike Rice and Nancy from Flanagan’s and myself.
Merseycats members and supporters created a great night of P.R. that welcomed our new found friends from Norway called ‘Bergen Beat’. Tempest and guests provided the music and entertainment for over 100 bergen beaters. Frieda Norris managed to persuade Earl Preston to get up and perform. He brought most of the crowd from Norway to stage front to applaud and take photographs and video, Dave, Beryl, Bob, Paul, Bernie, Ian and George reminding all that Merseybeat is as always still very much alive. Last but not least a £200 donation from Geir Keys and Bergen Beat to Merseycats fund was greatly received, as was the assurance of closer ties and possible trips to Norway. Many thanks to all musos who put their own equipment in, a special thanks to Bob Gerhaty for starting work an hour earlier on his shift to provide his drums for the night.
