Three generations of Stockport family keeping Merseybeat alive

Merseybeat was the pop culture which took over the world in the early 1960s.

Even though the craze only lasted a few years - and heralded the arrival of the Beatles - there are numerous bands and musicians who never became famous, but who put Merseybeat on the map.

Now, to mark the 60th anniversary of the musical genre, three generations of a Stockport family will perform at The Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot on 27 January.

Musician Daisy Kate, her dad Steve, and her grandad Alan are part of Some Other Guys who are set to shake, rattle and roll at the Shakespearean venue.

Steve Willock said: "In reality, those songs came over from America probably on a cargo ship, with a sailor sometime in the 1960's. And the album was bought on a market, and before you know it, all the local bands were picking them up and playing them in the clubs."

Also appearing with Some Other Guys is singer Ian Goodall, aka Tony D who played numerous gigs in the 1960's with the Shakeouts. He even appeared on a Granada TV documentary back in 1964. He's not changed a bit.

The Shakespearean evening with a difference takes place on January 27th. Here's hoping it won't turn out to be a Bard Day's Night for Daisy Kate, her dad and Grandad.
