Liverpool has always been a singing city and a great number of folk-style songs have been written about it, probably more than any other city. These songs are very popular, but, even so, there are times when people just can’t remember them in full. To help such people, I made a CD of myself singing these songs - my “Liverpool Lyrics” CD - to remind people of the words and to help them sing along. As things turned out, even this was not enough; I started hearing of people searching for printed music books about the folk-songs of Liverpool. They are familiar with the songs, they want to perform them, but they may not know the tune properly and need some help with melody and chords. To help such people is one of the aims of this book. One small book cannot contain all the songs that there are about Liverpool, so here are most of the best-known songs from the folk-boom of the 1960s. All the ones people have heard of, and quite a few more. As well as the words, there is a melody line and the chord symbols, and some background information to the songs, their writers, their history, and even some photographs and images to help towards a complete knowledge of each song. There are specific sections about the major performers and writers involved, including : Pete McGovern, The Liverpool Spinners, Jacqui and Bridie, Stan Kelly-Bootle, Brian Jacques - The Dison brothers, Glyn Hughes, and more. Serious thought is also given to those ghosts of the past whose works are now sadly tagged 'Traditional', due to the writer and their work becoming separated in the mists of time. There are even a few pages about “MY Liverpool home”, my interest in this city, and my musical experience, hopefully showing that this book is by someone who knows what he is talking about. My co-author, John Haines, an accomplished folk-musician in his own right, has converted the raw materials into a book, while our friend John Blakeborough has converted it all into an ebook file.The songs in the book include...In My Liverpool Home.The World in One City.Song of the Liver Birds.Johnny Todd.The Leaving of Liverpool.Liverpool Ladies.Liverpool Lullaby.Maggie May.
