Liverpool bands of the early 80s first got me into music
not the best Teardrop song but the first song to get me interested in music when I was a 10 year old, the video helped, cope in a flying jacket and an army jeep

The Story of the Blues, brilliant. Such a great sound / production values.

Nostalgic! I went to Liverpool University in 1980, got to hang out with some of the local musicians, became friends with Peter WIley and Washy from Wah Heat, it was a great moment in an ever changing musical scene. A snapshot: one day my mid-morning bus stop queue into town from the end of Sefton Park Road consisted of Pete Burns and his wife Lynne (both in full regalia) and Pete De Freitas, drummer from the Bunnymen. Happy days.

Must have been a great time for you, big shame that De Freitas passed away in his prime. I think Pete Burns had a notorious reputation working in Probe records in town, slating punters taste in records when they came to pay.

It was certainly a wake up call coming from wealthy London to an impoverished Liverpool, with street after street completely empty of cars, heavily barred-up off licences and the girls at the Tesco checkout letting you to pay whatever you could afford. And having a so-called 'cockney accent' I was actually refused service in some pubs. In fact, when I arrived for my first term at Lime Street station, the first thing I saw, sprayed in six foot high letters on the platform wall opposite, were the words: Cockneys will die. That made me feel welcome!
Nevertheless I enjoyed the music scene immensely and it was very poignant to be there when John Lennon was shot.
