MERSEY Beat is to return to the city’s world-famous Mathew Street, after a gap of nearly 50 years.
The Merseycats charity is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year by teaming up with the Hard Day’s Night hotel to hold regular live gigs by 60s bands at the hotel’s Zygmant Suite.
The partnership will be launched at an event to be held on July 15, attended by The Beatles’ first drummer Pete Best, and Billy Kinsley, of The Merseybeats.
Merseycats was set up 20 years ago and since then has raised more than £300,000 for local children’s charities, including Alder Hey and Claire House.
Hard Day’s Night hotel director Jonathan Davies said: “We are proud that Hard Day’s Night hotel is assisting in bringing back the music of the 60s to Liverpool on a regular basis. Our city has music intertwined in its DNA and this partnership will ensure that music fans can once again regularly listen to the sounds of one of the most successful periods of British music.”
