Book Description
A celebration of the wide stream of entertaining talent that has flowed from Merseyside this century. This includes talents as wide-ranging and distinctive as they are outstanding, ranging from Sir Thomas Beecham to Lily Savage and Glenda Jackson. The book is arranged in reference terms from A to Z , moving from Avril Angers to Anne Ziegler. It contains the fascinating stories of more than 60 stars who have made a major contribution nationally. It is also illustrated by photographs of famous faces to stir memories and Mersey pride. The author demonstrates that the Beatles were just one part of the Mersey sound. Other performers such as Rita Hunter, Simon Rattle, George Melly and Billy Fury add impressively varied elements to Liverpool's major contribution to the arts in this country.
