Whitby Pavilion to host 60 years of Mersey music featuring hits of The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and more

The Merseybeat musical, This is Merseybeat, is coming to Whitby Pavilion – and this year the show celebrates 60 years of the Mersey Sound, 1963-2023.

This vibrant, energetic show features the Cavern Club’s resident Merseybeat combo, The Shakers, plus guest artists Neil Ainsby as Gerry Marsden and

Victoria Jones as Cilla Black with actor Paul Codman as the show’s host.

It is very much a love letter to Liverpool as uniquely, every song in the show was performed by a Liverpool 60s artist, showcasing the city’s world-beating musical heritage.
