View looking up Harrington Street...
from the balcony of the John Lennon suite at the Hard Days Night Hotel...


Anybody remember one of the 1st wine bars in Liverpool....
that was in the Money Shop building in the pic
on the corner of Harrington Street... ?
(Yellow in the building)


Around 1975.. or there abouts..
may well have been the 1st wine bar in Liverpool..
the 1st I remember.. complete with jugs of sangria and all the trimmings.

Many moons since I saw them at ??????? Ozzy looks as hairless as Albie,now!?

Many moons since I saw them at ???????:...

The Sportsman maybe ?... I saw them every week on a monday without fail..

They played every sunday and became that popular they got the monday slot as well..
and packed the place out...pubs were empty around Liverpool on a monday back then.
not the Sportsman... choca block !

Supported many big bands and blew them away...
a few big bands would not play the same show as Supercharge
as they were that good and the crowd loved them...

They once supported Queen and Queen wanted them as their support on a world tour inc all over the states..

A well known mega loadsa dosh multi multi muuuuuuuuuuuuulti milliionaire record label owner would not back them financially so Supercharge pulled out..

Queen got Thin Lizzy at the last minute and Lizzy never looked back..

[Ronijayne]

Never heard of them. Time for me to do a Liverpool trip methinks!

[lindylou]

They were great. As Gerard says, they would pack a place out. Great band.

The way your caught the sky in the first two pics looks really artistic, Gerard. Do you add your own tint on photoshop or something along them lines?

Thank you Kid... I dont have photoshop installed on my new Mac yet...I'm using Lightroom 3 and have just taken the exposure down a bit...I then used the 'lighten' brush thingy and brightened up the buildings a little, over done the saturation a little to give the colour a boost ant thats about that really....nothing false added to the sky or the pics, it was a very nice sunny cloudy day...

The pic of the garage was taken on a different day..
Cheers Kid... G...

No problem Gerard. I enjoy your slightly airbrushed photographs. Are you a professional photographer or just very good at your hobby?

Thank you very much Kid...thats a nice thing to say and lovely compliment...thanks again.

I'm not a professional but I'm involved with all kinds going on around Liverpool...my pics have been exhibited and there's a few exciting things coming off in the not too distant future.....

One project involving my photos and a well known Liverpool personality...this will be a massive joint Liverpool history project and I'm really excited about it...fingers crossed. !

Anytime Gerard.

I was going to ask you if you ever had an exhibition with your work, so thanks for clarifying that before hand. I know your work, along with Geds, has been featured in the Echo at various times, so local Media acknowledging your work is only a good thing.

Good luck with your project.

Thanks Kid..

I know Ken Rogers the Echo editor...he gets in touch now and again when he needs photos or me to give him the info for one of his Echo columns... he has photos of mine he'll be using at later dates...

Ken got one of his Echo colleagues to get in touch with me regarding doing an exhibition of my John Lennon related Liverpool photos...around Lennon's homes and schools etc.... the exhibition solely of my photos was supposed to take place last year but my friend Bill Harry could not make it so it was cancelled... they still have my pics and an exhibition of Liverpool Beatles related photos might be something for a future project.. !!!..

Thanks again Kid.. G...
