In My Liverpool Home

In 1991, BBC Radio Merseyside DJ, Spencer Leigh, invited his many friends to make a one-hour programme in which each one would sing a verse of the famous folk song In My Liverpool Home . This included the first few verses, written by Peter McGovern, in 1962. When this broadcast was recorded to cassette, it showed that over thirty years this six-verse snippet of Liverpool life had grown to an incredible sixty-seven verses! Now, another twenty-seven years later, Gerry Jones and John Haines have compiled all the verses they could find - an unbelievable 163! - and put them all into one compact book. As well as the verses, the book offers information and images to clarify many verses, topics, composers and local life, past and present. This is a book to revive memories for older Merseysiders and ex-pats, and to inform younger generations. Indeed, a book to treasure and share. See more
