They made their debut 'Beatleweek' appearance in 2006 to a great reception and have been given the honour of opening the festival every year since. This fab beat combo perform the hits, misses, B-sides and lost classics from the golden age of Merseybeat with a passion and energy not seen since the heady days of the ‘60s beat boom. As Merseybeat and Hamburg legend Kingsize Taylor said after seeing the boys in action, “I haven’t heard a sound like that since the Star-Club in 1962!” Formed in 2005 by drummer Tony, these four lads from Liverpool authentically recreate the look and the sound of those Liverpool days and Hamburg nights, from the Cavern to the Star-Club where the original Mersey sound was born. The group’s ethos is based around the early 60s, as they believe that this is when beat music was at its most exciting. |

In the
1960s, during the golden era of pop, one band ruled supreme in East Anglia.
They were officially crowned top 60s band in one of the first ever 'Battle
of The Bands', being judged outright winners by Van Morrison. They appeared
with all of the chart topping bands of the time such as The Yardbirds,
Amen Corner, Merseybeats, Small Faces and Status Quo. Pirate Radio station
“Radio London” chose the band to front their Radio Roadshow, long before
Radio One or Two had been thought of. The pinnacle of their career came
when they were booked to appear alongside Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Pink
Floyd in what was probably the UK’s first real music festival. Now SOUNDS FORCE 5 are back, playing that unique brand of 60’s music that made them so popular the first time around. Lose yourself in this golden era, when you hear the group play unforgettable numbers made famous by such bands as The Rolling Stones, The Searchers, The Moody Blues and The Spencer Davies Group. |
