The Liverbirds, Liverpool's first all-girl rock band, defied the odds and proved John Lennon wrong. Formed in 1963, they rose to fame performing at iconic venues like The Cavern Club and Hamburg's Star Club alongside legends like Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix.
It's now been over 60 years since Liverpool 's first ever girl band burst onto the music scene and also proved Beatles legend John Lennon wrong. In 1963, the music world was exploding and the Merseybeat scene was already well-established. Our city was flooded with talented bands, many of whom were flying to the top of the charts, but among them was also a group which soon became the country's first all-girl rock ’n’ roll group.
'But later we thought maybe he was saying that to encourage us - and it did.' They never got to see Lennon again to point this out as The Beatles became too famous, but they did follow in their fellow Liverpudlians' footsteps to receive thunderous applause at the Star Club in Hamburg. Sylvia previously said: 'There was a massive balcony and they had all these lights. If they liked you they used to swing the lights.
