About Me

Pictures and reviews.The origins of the band came from when rhythm guitarist Steve started attending the Merseycats jam nights at the Marconi Club. He came back telling his brother Mike how he should go along with Steve with the intentions of getting a few songs together themselves. Mike had previously played guitar and was lead singer some years earlier with the band The Man With No Face. The band covered songs by amongst others, The Stranglers and Echo and The Bunnymen. Mike's influences were very different from Steve. He had his roots in C&W music with Johnny Cash, he picked up and played along to many of the original man in black's hits at home. Next to be lured to the jam sessions was Andy, Steve's son in law. Andy had been a regular Karaoke night crooner across Liverpool and was perfect for the project. The three got together in February 2006 finally went along together to see what Merseycats was all about. At the sessions, drummer Dave Wilson offered to help the lads if they fancied getting up and showing what they could do. Dave was the main drummer at the jam night's and had many years experience to share with the new boys -it didn't take long for them to strike up a great friendship,The band just needed a bass player now to be able to get up in their own right and bass player Allan duly obliged. He told the lads he wanted to play bass for them and the line up was complete.
