I have a great love of the music of the Sixties, in particular
the 'Liverpool Sound', or what became commonly known as 'Merseybeat',
and I have been a regular visitor to the annual Beatles convention
in Liverpool for what seems a lifetime. During those visits,
both personal and professional, I have had the great joy and
pleasure to meet people involved in the music scene of the Sixties.
These pages have been put together to share my passion with
you and the knowledge and insight I have gained into the whole
Sixties Beat movement. They
contain articles and research material covering a wealth of
topics including new information, rare photographs and a lot
of 'inside' information on what really happened, in
the
hope that you will be both informed and entertained.
Eyewitness accounts and testimonies offering very personal and
first hand reminiscences dispel many of the mistruths and myths
that have arisen over the years.
As John Lennon once said " Give me some truth", so we aim to
do just that.

Glenn
and Jeff Mitchell are 'Cavern' - a
keyboard guitar duo who use specialist guitars of the period in
their sets, from John Lennon's signature Rickenbacker 325 to
Paul McCartney's Violin Hofner Beatle bass. They take you
on a Magical Musical
History Tour of the early days of 'Merseybeat' using stage decor,
props and reproduction 60s Beatles suits, with Cuban heeled Beatle
boots, where you are transported back in time to the vibrant rock'n'roll
sounds of the 50s and the beginnings of the Mersey Sound and Beatlemania,
to relive memories of those formative years which witnessed the
birth of the Swinging Sixties.
