You know the rest... And i've been invited to perform at the 50th anniversary celebrations! We're planning a 50's rock'n'roll version of our CLASSIC! night. A chance to play the songs that influenced and inspired the four lads who shook the world! And there's even a possibility of me doing 'Twenty Flight Rock' with the QUARRYMEN! IT'S GONNA BE A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, AND ONE I CAN'T WAIT FOR! So if you're in town, come and see a fantastic meeting of the great generations of Liverpool pop history. And of course, there's bound to be a bargain bring and buy sale... and it's all in the early afternoon,so bring the future! wah!x !!

CLASSIC!6 this SATURDAY Posted 27/06/07 PREVIEW: Classic! 6, The Zanzibar, Liverpoolby Alan O'Hare He's back - and this time he's not alone. Fresh from a fantastic performance at the inaugural Knowsley Hall Music Festival last weekend, Pete Wylie and The Mighty Wah! return to the Zanzibar Club in Liverpool for another night of mayhem, mutterings and music, this Saturday. Classic! - the monthly night Wylie hosts at the uber-trendy Seel Street venue - has seen the local legend play his biggest hits and a bunch of top-notch, classic cover versions acoustically and with special guests, since the turn of the year. The night has gone from strength to strength - and has featured star turns from Liverpool heroes like Ian McNabb, Martyn Campbell, Ian Prowse, Mike Badger and Steve Roberts. But this month, the spotlight turns back on Wylie, as the motormouth songwriter brings his new-look band to The Zanzibar for Classic! to plug in. He's promising a full-on rock 'n' roll show and is nicely warmed-up, after performing in front of 30,000 punters at Knowsley last weekend. The Zanzibar is a little bit more intimate, so make sure you get down early to hear all the classic hits and more from a Liverpudlian original. Classic! 6 PETE WYLIE-CLASSIC!5 via ATHENS!!!

WYLIE Press release - 31/05/04 YOU CAN’T keep a good man down… not even when that man is as maverick as they come. Largely silent since the release (in 2000) of his hugely praised (but still undervalued) ‘Songs of Strength and Heartbreak’, it is with great pleasure that we can tell you that Pete Wylie has re-entered the building. Never one to do things by halves, the Wah! man chose to plunge straight into the deep end with a sell out solo show in New York at the end of 2003. He proved to himself and to those lucky enough to be there(including kosmo vinyl[the 5th member of the clash!]and ian mcculloch,who retuned to liverpool singing his praises) that he still had it and was ready to re-enter the fray. Backed by a couple of new local heroes,gary and scott from The Bandits,robbie harper[the mighty wah!]and Ian Templeton,drummer with SHACK,he’s just played his first home town gig in four years at a very emotional last night at the famous Picket venue. Looking and sounding better than he has for years, he blazed through a set that proved he’s lost none of the old fire and passion. Back in the studio,
work has already begun on the next Wylie masterpiece, the ingeniously
titled ‘PETE SOUNDS’, with a release date set for late 2004/early
2005. If that’s not enough his classic debut single ‘Better Scream’ is featured on the just released Alan McGee compilation 'death disco ltd'. This is the man who discovered and released records by the likes of Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, and Oasis, and is currently working with the Libertines. So obviously he knows something about wayward rock geniuses! and,lest we forget,pete's working on his autobiography,an-if you will-MEMWAH! Watch out for more live dates with a new band in the near future, featuring a mixture of old favourites and new songs from ‘Pete Sounds’. LATE NEWS! just thought it was
time for a bit of news,as you've all been fantastic keeping the site alight...
A TRIBUTE TO BOB WOOLER - 'THE BEST OF FELLAS' Sunday 12th January

will reflect four stages in Bob's life. Each scene will be interspersed
with music, not only Merseybeat, but some of the standards which were
Bob's favourites. 7.30 pm £14.50/£12.50/£10.50/£8.50
