Description
Our life in Britain's first female rock 'n' roll band
In the early 1960's, four friends from Liverpool formed a band.
But this is not the 'fab four' story we all know ...
Mary, Sylvia, Valerie and Pamela - also known as The Liverbirds - were one of the world's first all female rock 'n' roll bands. At an early gig, backstage at The Cavern Club, a young John Lennon told them that "girl's don't play guitars". But they took that as a challenge, despite the early scepticism, they won over tough crowds, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums and played with The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry - all in a space of just five years.
Now, the two surviving members of the band tell their incredible story in full for the first time - capturing a lost era of liberation and rock 'n' roll, as they thrived in the vibrant Merseybeat music scene and formed a friendship that has endured through the decades.
