Liverpool is the cradle of British pop, a city responsible for more number 1 hits than any other. This is the definitive story of its journey from the Cavern to Cream.
Even before it gave us The Beatles, Liverpool produced the first true rock' n 'roll star to be born outside of America, Billy Fury. There has been a stream of star names ever since - from the Merseybeat time of The Beatles, Cilla Black and the Searchers to Echo and the Bunnymen, Elvis Costello, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the La's, Lightning Seeds and Atomic Kitten. Liverpool even rules the dance floor, through its very own super-club, Cream.
Culturally vibrant, the city has entered the twenty-first century with its self-belief intact. What makes the 'Pool of Life' so special? Featuring numerous interviews with its key players, this book uncovers the musical impulse at the heart of Britain's strangest, most self-obsessed city.
