Busy Weeks

Friday night saw Shooter and The Krystolettes appear as part of 'The Mathew Street Band Show' at the Pan Am Restaurant; which is the old Richard and Judy morning show set situated in the Albert Dock in Liverpool. In what was probably the best night of Merseybeat in many years, the stars turned out to celebrate the inaugural 'Mathew Street Band Show'.
The stars of the show; Geoff Nugent of Merseybeat legends 'The Undertakers', Lee Curtis & the Allstars, Shooter, The Bumblies and The Krystollettes gave memorable performances to show that Merseybeat and the sounds of the 60s has lost none of it's magic appeal.
As Shooter's drummer Jeff Walker was on holiday in Spain a big thank you must go to drummer Niall Williams for the brilliant stand in job that he did; well done Niall.
Geoff Nugent and Lee Curtis were made Honorary members of The Mathew Street Band; also receiving Honorary membership were Billy Kinsley of The Merseybeats; little miss Merseybeat - Beryl Marsden and Alan Schroeder of The Black Nights. Author and BBC Radio Merseyside DJ Spencer Leigh autographed copy's of his new book "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Get Back movie producer Gary Popper bought his film crew to the event and remarked that he canned some great footage which will be used in the forthcoming documentary. He reckons the the documentary series should reach an audience of 60,000,000 worldwide. Shooters Keith Hubbard arranged the programme and managed the stage setting.
Organiser Dave Ferguson also video-d the event and shots can be seen on his web site http://www.liverpoolbeat.com/
Sunday and Shooter had a gig at a new club to them; Elton Liberal Club in Bury. What a great night, a very enthusiastic audience loved every minute of their trip back to the music of the 1950s and 60s. A big thanks to everybody at the club.
See you next time.
