862 The Liverbirds “Diddley Daddy” and “Leave All Your Loves in the Past” 1965

The Liverbirds “(pronounced lie-vah)…played the Cavern Club alongside the Beatles and were sent to the Reeperbahn in the early Sixties on the same promotional circuit. They never came back to England. Their looks was masculine—apparently Astrid Kirchherr helped them with it. They played Chuck Berry covers and songs with names like ‘Peanut Butter’. They performed nightly, for a hefty pay packet, on Hamburg’s street of sailors and hookers—and were all aged 16 and 17. The Liverbirds rolled joints for Jimi Hendrix; Jimmy Savile was one of their earliest supporters” (Kate Mossman, New Statesman, October 2015).
