Tributes have been paid to legendary Southport musician Ted 'Kingsize' Taylor after he died aged 83.
Ted along with his band The Dominoes was a contemporary of The Beatles, often sharing the bill with them in both Liverpool and Hamburg. 'Kingsize', who gained his name due to his imposing 6ft 5in frame, left the music industry in the mid-60s and for more than 30 years ran a butcher’s shop.
In a tribute on Facebook, Ted who shared the stage with stars such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, and Fats Domino has been described as a "genuine superstar" who was "rock and roll" until the end.
