Are you seriously saying nobody outside of Liverpool has heard of
- Ringo Starr
- Gerry Marsden
- Arthur Askey
- John Gregson
- Robbie Fowler
I agree that there is a border to be crossed whereby people are only famous locally and not in a wider national or international framework. However, if your beef is that my relative, Billy Matchett, for example, was not famous, well he appeared on the stage throughout the British Isles as a comedian and in pantomime (usually as the Dame) as well as in old tyme music hall throughout Britain and the Channel Islands.

Billy who again...:unibrow: he he
I like the poetry Chris - when you come over for the Ripperfest (can't think of a better way to put it) you should go to some of the open 'mic poetry nights and perform some of them - poets night at the Egg cafe or Everyman as a suggestion.
Ian Callaghan - played more games for Liverpool Fc than anyone else was born and raised in Toxteth
Phina Oruche -actress who played Liberty in Footballers Wives and now in I'm a celebrity (born in Nigeria but raised in Toxteth)
Mark Moraghan - Holby City/ex Brookside actor born/raised there.
Also in Edge Hill - good neighbours of Joseph Williamson have included:
James Martineau, Cornelius Henderson and Dr Raffles - all noted people from the 1800's!!
Hi Motorhemp
Thanks for liking my poems. The plan is for me to appear at a couple of poetry readings in connection with the Living on Hope Street anthology in which I have a section of poems. Jim Bennett has told me there are plans for readings at the Everyman and Albert Dock.

John Lennon once shared a flat with Stuart Sutcliffe at No. 3 Gambier Terrace.
Curtis Warren, drug baron. (yeah I know, but he's still famous)
Didn't The Real Thing come from Toxteth? I know they had an album called Liverpool 8. Chris Amoo is now a dog breeder. I think he won Crufts in 1987. Well, not him exactly, more like his Afghan Hound:unibrow:
Thanks for the posts peeps, saved me a lot of searching around ond my own site. :PDT_Piratz_26:
Thought Conteh was from Toxteth, then moved to Kirkby?
His website definitely says born in Kirkby.
