Some Other Guys

About this event

The Epstein Theatre will be rocking when it celebrates 64 years of Merseybeat with songs and stories from ‘Some Other Guys’, the 9 strong cast includes four original artists, who were playing the Liverpool venues throughout the 1960’s. Tony Coates from the Liverpool Express, The Merseys and the Merseybeats, Pete Maclaine, original front man of with the Dakotas and later Pete Maclaine and the Clan, Ian Goodall from Tony D and the Shakeouts and legendary drummer Alan Noone, The Riot Squad, combine 325 years of experiences to bring authenticity, stories and great live music to the show that sold out across the North West. In 2013, Manfred Kuhlmann published an anthology of bands that were part of the Merseybeat era. Together with his previous publication “Beat Waves Across the Mersey” Manfred catalogued more than 750 Merseybeat groups in over 900 pages. Alan Noone, playing with ‘The Riot Squad’ in 1962, features on the cover of the revised 2021 version of ‘Some Other Guys’ and it was his idea to create this show to pay homage to the Merseybeat musicians, so they may not be forgotten. They say that if you remember the 60s, you weren’t there. Here is an opportunity to experience, or remember, the music that changed the world!
