Liverpool has never been short of music legends and local talent - from the Merseybeat scene to new artists still emerging in the charts.
But the city is also where it all started for the "longest running band in pop history," who are still performing today. When 16-year-old John McNally formed The Searchers in 1957, he could never have imagined the phenomenal success the band would go on to achieve.
A sound that inspired artists like The Byrds, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, the band went on to achieve 50 million record sales, thirteen UK chart hits - including three No.1’s - and a fan base that continues to grow through the generations. Members John McNally, Spencer James and Richie Burns are now set to perform the last show of their tour tonight in Liverpool where it all began, which could be fans last chance to experience the legendary band.
