THE MERSEYBEATS

Can only be described as one of the most powerful exciting bands

currently performing 'live' music on stage today. 

A Merseybeats performance is spectacular and pulsating experience,

classic hits' Think Of You' 'Wishin & Hopin' and 'Sorrow'

are combined with emotive ballads and explosive pyrotechnic sets. 

The award-winning group are:

Tony Crane (founder member 1961 ) lead vocals and lead guitar

  Billy Kinsley (founder member 1961) lead vocals and rhythm guitar 

Bob Packham (joined 1974) backing vocals and bass guitar

Dave Goldberg (joined 1993) keyboards & vocals

Lou Rosenthal (joined 2000) drums

Founder members Tony Crane and Billy Kinsley,

together with long term members

Bob Packham, Dave Goldberg and Lou Rosenthal

ensure that The Merseybeats retain their status as one of our favorite bands of all time!

  The Merseybeats were signed to Fontana and received their first hit in 1963 with

'It's Love That Really Counts' followed the next year by their million selling 'I Think Of You'. 

  Success continued with ' Don't Turn Around' and 'Wishin & Hopin'

'Last Night'  'Don't Let It Happen To Us'  'I Love You Yes I Do'

'I Stand Accused'  'It's Love That Really Counts'  'Mister Moonlight'  

The Merseybeats appeared regularly at Liverpool's famous Cavern Club

appearing with The Beatles on more occasions than any other band from that era, a fact

they are proud of and look back with many a unique and fond memory.

1966 Tony and Billy re-named themselves The Merseys, it was under this name

that they achieved their greatest recording success with

'Sorrow'

which has become a sixties classic and was later revived by David Bowie.

With THE MERSEYBEATS the beat certainly goes on, and on, and on…
