About Me


Opened In 1983 Liverpool's First And Original Beatles Shop.
The Beatles Shop first opened its doors on Mathew Street in 1983. In the years since we have firmly established our identity on this world famous street, which is right in the heart of Liverpool’s city centre.Upon descending the steps in to the shop, shoppers are greeted with the imagery and sounds of the Fab Four. Our shop features an original 1959 jukebox packed full of Beatles singles,and even a Beatles carpet!
The shop boasts "the largest range of Beatles ‘gear’ in the world" – and it’s true. There’s a plethora of Beatles stuff available ranging from t-shirts, maps, posters and postcards through to watches, toys, mugs and jewellery plus much more besides. As well as the present day merchandising the shop occasionally sells some original items, as well as having a permanent display of original memorabilia from the sixties. The shop can be a constant hubbub of activity, as many Beatles fans use it as a meeting place for friends and pen pals, especially in the summer months. Some regular visitors even have their photos stuck on the ceiling by the doorway. One or two celebrities have ventured through the shops doors in recent years – Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon, George Martin, Neil Aspinall, Carl Davis, Kevin Godley, Joe Walsh, Ian Hart, Aidan Quinn, Oasis, Richie Havens, Billy Bob Thornton and many more have stopped in for a visit while they were in the city. The next time you’re in the area, stop in and say hello. - A Splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Liverpool 8 is the brand new album from legendary artist Ringo Starr – his first new album with Capitol/EMI since ‘Goodnight Vienna’ in 1974.
The single 'Liverpool 8' will be released on January 7, just ahead of the massive celebrations planned to launch the Liverpool City Of Culture profile, (usefully called ‘Liverpool 08’) at which Ringo will be the ‘star’ attraction.
Liverpool 8 features 12 new tracks, written and produced by Ringo Starr and Dave Stewart, and "refers to the section of Liverpool where I used to live," explains Ringo. "The song was actually Dave Stewart's idea, as a mini autobiographical travelogue: 'I was a sailor first…' and then, 'Liverpool I left you' – because I did. 'but I never let you down,' which is true."
Ringo will be the guest of honour at the Liverpool 08 launch on January 11 and will be in Liverpool to promote the album. Including a performance on top of St George's Hall his first Rooftop gig since Let It Be. With a special performance at Liverpool new arena the following day.
