Overview
The idea for Britainās first female rock band, The Liverbirds, started one evening in 1962, when Mary McGlory, then age 16, saw The Beatles play live at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, the nightclub famously known as the ācradle of British pop music.ā Then and there, she decided she was going to be just like themāand be the first girl to do it.

Joining ranks in 1963 with three other working-class girls from Liverpoolādrummer Sylvia Saunders and guitarists Valerie Gell and Pamela Birch, also self-taught musicians determined to ābreak the male monopoly of the beat worldāāThe Liverbirds went on to tour alongside the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and Chuck Berry, and were on track to hit international stardomāuntil life intervened, and the group was forced to disband just five years after forming in 1968.

Now, Mary and Sylvia, the bandās two surviving members, are ready to tell their stories. From that fateful night in 1962, when Mary, who once aspired to become a nun, decided to provide for her family by becoming a rich-and-famous rocker, to the circumstances that led to the band splitting upāSylviaās dangerously complicated pregnancy, and the tragic accident that paralyzed Valerieās beauāThe Liverbirds tackles family, friendship, addiction, aging, and the forcesāeven destinyāthat initially brought the four women together.
