The Liverpool Scene
Dedicated to Adrian Henri: 1932 - 2000
|
This was a band ahead of it's time, wonderfully weaving together music, poetry and satirical humour. Liverpool Scene were absolutely brilliant live and were one of the busiest bands in the country and a huge favourite of college audiences. The band broke up in 1970.
The article on the left is from the latest edition of Uncut magazine, about 50 significant albums which had never been on CD. The Liverpool Scene 1st album was on that list!!

The beginning! An album of poetry with Roger McGough, Adrian Henri and Andy Roberts. Brian Patten didnt make it to the album... but that's another story! |

The cover shows the regulars outside O'Conners Tavern in Liverpool, the band's home venue. "O'Conners is still there. Basically it was the creature of its landlord, Jimmy Moore, (the big fella on the cover). A pretty utilitarian drinking hole, but large, with a good sized upstairs room which we took over for poetry and music sessions on Wednesdays. The downstairs was lit with orange bulbs, lending a curious ambience to the experience." ANDY |

A CD re-release of The Liverpool Scene's first two albums. Remastered from vinyl, it's nice to have this material without the crackles and clicks ... there's a story to this release. |

The 2-CD package features most of the band’s recorded output, along with some previously unreleased live material. Many of the included tracks have never been available on CD before, and those that have have been meticulously remastered from the original master tapes from 40 years ago. |

The Liverpool Scene re-formed around 1974 with Dave Richards on bass and Mike Kellie on drums. They played a short tour. I can remember seeing them in Chester Quaintways. Good gig! (webweaver) | |
