Shakin' All Over

I wanted to write something about one of my favourite Merseybeat bands, actually they are my FAVOURITE! I have been seeing them in their regular spot at the Cavern on a Saturdays since they started there. The date escapes me...perhaps 1963 (LOL).

I love the fact that they play nothing that hit the pop parade after 1964. I LOVE Johnny Kidd and the Pirates and Shakin' All Over it is played by them to perfection.

I just wanted to write a little bit about them as this week is the anniversary of when the Beatles played their last gig at The Cavern in 1963.

The Shakers play songs by a lot of the Merseybeat groups; Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer, The Mojos, even Cilla and of course The Beatles. They also do songs by the likes of Peter and Gordon, The Rolling Stones and Johnny kidd and the Pirates.

So if you are down Mathew Street in Liverpool on a Saturday afternoon about 3.30pm or a Sunday night about 9pm. Please go and have a listen. Tony, Eddie, Martin and Phil are the real deal and are as close to the REAL thing as you can get pure nostalgia.
