The Merseybeats — Où écouter à la radio

The Merseybeats (sometimes written as the Mersey Beats) are an English band that emerged from the Liverpool Merseybeat scene in the early 1960s, performing at the Cavern Club along with the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and other similar artists.

The group's original members were Tony Crane (vocals, lead guitar), Billy Kinsley (vocals, bass), Aaron Williams (rhythm guitar) and John Banks (drums). Kinsley left the group at the beginning of 1964 and was replaced by John Gustafson, though Kinsley returned at the end of that year. The group split in 1966, with Crane and Kinsley continuing as a duo dubbed the Merseys. The Merseys ended in 1969. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Merseybeats would stage several occasional reunions before reforming permanently in 1993.

The current line-up is Tony Crane and his son Adrian Crane on keyboards and lead guitar.
