The 'Merseybeat' music scene developed in the early 60's. Beat Music is a fusion of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Doo Wop, Skiffle, R ‘n’ B and Soul. Beat Music began to thrive at the end of the 50’s, and it is estimated that at one point there were around 350 bands active in the scene. The scene was recorded in the magazine ‘Mersey Beat’, where the term comes from. Merseybeat stayed local until the breakthrough of The Beatles, Gerry and the Peacemakers, Cilla Black and other artists. In 1964, a British Invasion of acts led by The Beatles swept across the Atlantic and stormed the US charts. By 1966 Merseybeat was considered dead and gave way to the Psychedelic Rock of mid-to-late 1960’s.
