The Merseybeat Phenomenon

  1. RIP Teddy Kingsize Taylor2023/01/05
    This was Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes at the
    Star Club in Hamburg which we discussed in our
    chat on BIG FM 12th December 2011
    Teddy Taylor, aka Kingsize Taylor and the
    Dominoes was kind enough to have a quick chat
    with me about the Cilla series. It's always a
    pleasure to talk with Ted and we refer in this
    podcast to a Facebook group to which we both
    subscribe.
  2. Ray O'Brien and Fritz Speigl2013/08/15
    Ray is the Beatles Ambassador to the Wirral and a man of great knowledge. We were looking at the origin of the word Scouse and Scousers in general
  3. Scouse or How to talk Proper in Liverpool2013/08/15
    Lern Yerself Scouseis a series of books subtitled 'How to talk Proper on Merseyside.' However, it's interesting to see how two scousers view the phrases quoted in the book. Is it really Scouse? How long has it been around?
  4. Joe Flannery-Beatles Booking Agent2012/09/29
    Joe is being filmed for a documentary to be screened on Spanish TV. He tells me about his early days with Brian Epstein and Brian's mother, Queenie. He also remembers how he met and worked with Jimi Hendrix. Joe also tells me about his work at a Cultural Ambassador to Liverpool
  5. Norman Higham2012/07/19
    Vince met Norman in Rudi0's music shop in Alfaz del Pi and at last they got together to create this podcast. Norman was surprised at how many times their lives had the same path in their voyage of discovery that led them to Benidorm. This is a fascinating insight to how careers have developed

    Kingsize Taylor is one of the legends of Merseybeat. You only need to hear his music to feel the nostalgia of Merseybeat
