Mary, Sylvia, Valerie and Pamela ? also known as The Liverbirds ? were one of the world?s first all-female rock?n?roll bands. At an early gig, backstage at the Cavern Club, a young John Lennon told them that ?girls don?t play guitars?. But they took that as a challenge. Despite the early scepticism, they won over tough crowds, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums, and played with the Kinks, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry ? all in the space of just five years.

Now, the two surviving members of the band tell their incredible story in full for the first time ? capturing a lost era of liberation and rock?n?roll, as they thrived in the vibrant Merseybeat music scene and formed a friendship that has endured through the decades.
