The only all-girl group to come out of the Merseybeat boom, the Liverbirds forged a successful career in Germany as a hard-playing crowd-pleasing rock’n’roll band during the 1960s. The two surviving members tell their story in this new biography.
Five years ago, a musical about the Liverbirds called Girls Don't Play Guitars opened at Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre and was so popular that it’s coming back again later this year. The title was taken from a notorious throwaway remark by John Lennon on meeting the Liverbirds at the Cavern, but this isn’t about him. This is about four women who proved him wrong.
