The Mathew Street Band

Hi All, after the protest now the band. Mathew Street Banned was put together, and a single released, in protest to the omitting of a designated Mersey Beat stage at Liverpool's 2010 annual Mathew Street Festival. The protest had great support but was to no avail. With this in mind Liverpool Beat.Com have decide to form a dedicated band called; 'The Mathew Street Band' with a view to staging full live shows under the guise of 'The Mathew Street Band Show'. The shows will be an en devour to keep alive the soul of Mersey Beat in its home setting of Merseyside and beyond. The first show is planned for Friday 29th October at the PanAm Restaurant and Bar in the Albert Dock complex in Liverpool. As a founder member of the protest, Shooter's lead guitarist Keith Hubbard has been granted, along with the other eleven founder members, Honorary Membership of the band. Associate honorary membership will be granted to anyone connected with the Mersey Beat scene during the 60's such as; managers, promoters, roadies and media presenters. Standard membership is open to all, and musicians who have performed at anytime in Mathew Street, can apply for membership of 'The Mathew Street Jam Band'. The full details of shows and membership can be found on this web site - Click Here.
Remember; Mathew Street is all about The Cavern Club and the bands and musicians who played there, not Lady GA Ga, Abba, and such triffling tributes. A number of those bands and musicians are still around today and should not be forgotten, as should the memory of those no longer with us. So join up and support 'The Mathew Street Band', keeping the soul of Mersey Beat Live in Liverpool.
See you next time.
