Description
The Liverbirds: Our Life in Britain's First Female Rock 'n' Roll Band In the early 1960s, four friends from Liverpool formed a band that would challenge the status quo of the music scene. The Liverbirds, comprising Mary, Sylvia, Valerie, and Pamela, were one of the world's first all-female rock'n'roll bands. Despite early scepticism, they persevered, winning over tough crowds and playing with some of the biggest names of the time. Their story is one of liberation and rock'n'roll, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Merseybeat music scene. The Liverbirds' incredible journey, spanning just five years, saw them tour stadiums, record hit albums, and perform with the Kinks, Rolling Stones, and Chuck Berry. Now, the two surviving members of the band share their remarkable tale for the first time, offering a unique insight into a lost era of music and friendship. This book is a fascinating account of the Liverbirds' experiences, told in their own words. It is a story of female empowerment, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
