I am a 36 years young musician ..I play keyboards with The Mersey Beatles at the moment (COME AND SEE US AT THE CAVERN CLUB EVERY THURSDAY **FREE OF CHARGE**) 2008 should have been the best year EVER for me..Unfortunately the break up of myself and Joanne has somewhat left me stunned to say the least!! She was my heart and soul...Just come back from a week away with the band on the QE2 from New York which came just at the right time for me!! Looking forward to rebuilding my life once again...And once again I have made it through to the final of the South Liverpool Garston Snooker League Championship Final to be held on Thurs 5th June...my 4th Final in 6 years!! Fingers crossed for victory!! I have played in various bands over the years such as Jonville Rode (my 1st band), Powerhouse, Shinobi and at the moment working on a new band Mathew Street Preechers..Here is a review about me in the local press from July 2007... "Unlike many tribute bands, the Mersey Beatles line-up has remained constant and they even have a "5th Beatle", Tony Cook, who slinks on at the back of the stage to play keyboards..Tony works on the arrangements to many songs with intricate solos on songs such as In My Life from the earlier days and supplies all that orchestral backing that played such a significant role in The Beatles later recordings such as Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, All You Need is Love and to his credit has mastered the full Sgt Pepper Album...."It's the most challenging thing I have ever had to do in my 20 years as a keyboard player" he adds "and I still get a real buzz each time I perform the songs as they were written by the most important songwriters of the 20th Century!" And asked what Tony's favourite Beatles classic he plays..... "It's got to be She's Leaving Home from Sgt Pepper, its pure 110% concentration, but once I have mastered the Abbey Road album, I'll be spoilt for choice!" Philip Key, Liverpool Daily Post, July 2007...Places Mersey Beatles have travelled to: 1. Norway (Favang, Skien) 2. Sweden (Vasteras, Sundsvall, Orebro) 3. Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) 4. Australia (Adelaide) 5. Belgium (Mons) 6. Faroe Islands (Torshavn) 7. QE2 (Newcastle to Edinburgh) 8. France (Cannes) 9. Italy (Pisa) 10. Gibraltar (cruise around the med) 11.
