The New Merseybeat

Episode 6 of 6

The series about the last 30 years of pop history examines the Liverpool revival and groups like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Teardrop Explodes, OMD and KLF.

A series using family trees compiled by music journalist Pete Frame to explore the dramas that lie behind some of the best-known bands. Fifteen years after the original Mersey beat sound, Liverpool again became the breeding ground for many top bands, and they all started out in a damp basement club called Eric's. The bands include Echo and the Bunnymen, the Teardrop Explodes, OMD, the Lightning Seeds and the KLF.
