Liverpool
So did you buy 'Why Don't We Do It In Abbey Road' yet? What do you mean, "No!"? Get yourself down to the Adelphi foyer and make sure you don't leave Beatleweek without this fantastic CD!! Even though it took us the same number of months from recording to release as it took the Beatles to record and release every album from Please Please Me to Sgt Pepper... we reckon it was well worth the wait! Every track is an original composition by a Beatleweek band, and the album illustrates the amazing talent these bands possess.
Liverpool were one of the bands to contribute to the CD, recording the track 'Humans' in Abbey Road Studio 2 in August 2001. The song is very 'John', the lyrics capture Lennon's politics and sentiments and Olle Nilsson's vocal similarity demonstrates why he won Sweden's equivalent of the Stars in their Eyes TV programme with his John Lennon impersonation.
Liverpool are one of the most highly-acclaimed tribute bands in Sweden and have been performing together for almost 25 years and have appeared at Beatleweek many times before. As well as touring with Liverpool, Olle Nilsson also plays solo gigs and has recorded several original solo albums. Co-founding member Kent Szwonder plays drums and also sings Ringo's parts.
Bassist Ronnie Roos scores the groups orchestral arrangements and has his own recording studio, while the newest member of Liverpool, Sebastian Roos (Ronnie's son) is the groups guitarist and sings Paulīs vocal parts. He has previously been in a variety of rock groups and has also appeared in stage musicals.
They have recently recorded an album of original material entitled 'Love Is All' which features the song of the same name, which was Liverpool's contribution to Sweden's nominated entries for the Eurovision Song Contest.
