Exploring Liverpool's music scene
In 1976, a new music scene was beginning to blossom in Liverpool, with bands such as Big In Japan, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes bringing new life to the city.
Liverpool is a major city in the North West of England. Long associated with The Beatles and a lively music scene, it has enjoyed a recent period of cultural regeneration following its year as European Capital of Culture in 2008. It is home to the Liverpool Biennial, the biggest contemporary arts festival in the UK's cultural calendar.
