The Liverbirds - Around And Around

This performance was filmed in the Berlin Waldbühne for the 1965 German feature film ’Hurra, Hurra, die Rattles kommen’ (’Hurray, The Rattles Are Coming!’) The Liverbirds were an all-female rock band hailing from Liverpool, England and were active between 1963 and 1968. They found commercial success predominantly in Germany with residencies at Hamburg’s world-famous Star Club on the Reeperbahn. The classic line-up featured Valerie Gell and Pamela Birch on vocals and guitar and the rhythm section consisted of Mary McGlory on bass and vocals and Sylvia Saunders on drums. Amidst the flourishing Merseybeat scene, they stood out as one of the very few female bands and were pioneers of all-female rock’n’roll bands worldwide. Their name was inspired by the emblematic liver bird, symbolizing their beloved hometown of Liverpool. Although primarily known for their cover versions they had also several self-penned hits. #TheLiverbirds #starclub #reeperbahn #beatles #hambu
