The Manuscript

„Certain pictures that I’ve taken have a lovely feel to them. Both John Lennon and Sandy Shaw had this magnetism and awe surrounding them and I often wondered why. Then I worked out they were both blind as bats when they took their glasses off.“ – Mike McCartney

In a commentary that is honest, revealing and often humorous, McCartney describes growing up in a post-war Liverpool and the cultural sensation that followed. McCartney shares his love of satire, poetry and music, and his experience of being there to photograph the talent that came out of Liverpool, including his own group, the Scaffold. From The Beatles to the Fourmost, and from the Roadrunners to Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, McCartney captured the local bands as well as Liverpool’s poets and artists, including Adrian Henri, Sam Walsh and Maurice Cockrill, RA. In MIKE McCARTNEY’S EARLY LIVERPOOL the incredible visiting acts that Liverpool welcomed are also celebrated, including Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and Long John Baldry. With each photograph, McCartney gives a fascinating insight into the history of the vibrant city.
