Nevertheless, Bread soldiered on for another three years before concluding in 1991. But if there is one observation to be made, it is this. If the Boswell brothers were really Liverpool lads, how come we never saw them down the pub or at the match? Relax, released in 1983, topped the UK Singles Chart and remained at No.1 for 5 weeks, staying in the charts throughout the year and becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time. Follow up smash hits, Two Tribes and The Power Of Love, made it three No.1 hits in a row for the Liverpool band. Frankie Goes To Hollywood boast 15 weeks at No.1 in the UK Singles Chart, 50 weeks in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart and 17 weeks in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart — making them our runaway winners and No.1 in our Top 10. The Beatles = 993 points
Three unemployed 19 year olds are willing to help anyone who offers work. Tex (Stephen McGann), forever optimist, Lenny (David Albany) philosopher and poet with his Grade 4 CSE English Literature, and Davva (Jake Abraham) rumoured to be Merseyside’s first brain-transplant donor. The show ended 1979, but in 1996 Beryl and Sandra were reunited for a new version as middle aged divorcees. For some reason, Carla Lane mashed up the show’s own history by reassigning Carmel McSharry as Beryl’s mother, Mrs. Hennessy, and Lucien as her brother. This air brushing out of Sheila Fay and Elizabeth Estensen did not go down with long standing fans and it was cancelled after seven episodes. Billy and Mary Clarkson (Ken Jones and Sheila Fay) are a couple of Merseyside mixed marriage. Not only half catholic and half protestant, but half Everton supporters and half Liverpool. Formed in 1983, these charismatic Scouse lads finally saw some real success in 1990. After appearing in a cameo role in the 1989 movie The Final Frame starring Suggs of Madness, they soon got signed and hired Suggs as their producer. They went on to have a storming 1990 — reaching the UK Top 10 with Groovy Train and All Together Now and reaching No.1 in the UK Albums Chart with Spartacus the following year. 9. Echo & The Bunnymen (21 points)For the record, if we score The Beatles in the same way they would have achieved a mighty 993 points! It seems inconceivable that a Scouse band will achieve anywhere near that any time soon, but keep reading La Vida Liverpool as we keep you up to date with the best music coming out of Merseyside. The series was recorded in Birmingham, with various locations across the country standing in for Liverpool. Writer Joe Boyle deliberately portrayed an upbeat view of life on the dole, commenting “there are a lot of people in Liverpool like these three, but they are never seen on television”. The everyday suit of the 80s and 90s was usually all nylon or all rayon and a practical, affordable street style option.

Elvis Costello, who sings the show’s theme, Turning the Town Red, also appears as Scully’s brother. Malcolm Stoneway (Paul Brown) and Brenda Wilson (Emma Wray) are a seemingly mismatched couple, she being a gobby working class Liverpool lass, he a quiet birdwatcher from middle class Wirral who lives with an aspiring but dominating mother (Patsy Byrne). Mischievous Livertpool teenager Francis Scully began life as a series of short stories by Alan Bleasdale, subsequently broadcast by BBC Radio Merseyside in 1971. Books and plays followed before the character’s first TV appearance in a 1978 BBC Play for Today, Scully’s New Year’s Eve where he was played by Andrew Schofield with Ray Kingsley as his pal, Mooey. OK, so did you guess our No.1 correctly? Achieving huge success in the 80s, Frankie Goes To Hollywood claims the title of La Vida Liverpool’s Most Successful Scouse Band Since The Beatles. The group became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach No.1 with their first 3 singles — the first being Liverpool’s Gerry and the Pacemakers.Scouse saying: Fazak for Fazakerley, Mersey Funnel for the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and Noggsy for Norris Green When Polly James decided to leave, she was replaced by Carol Boswell (Elizabeth Estensen) and her extended family including rabbit obsessed brother Lucien (Michael Angelis) and their God fearing mother, Mrs. Boswell (Carmel McSharry). O.M.D never actually had a UK No.1 single or a UK No.1 album, however they had 7 UK Top 10 singles, staying in the Top 10 for 30 weeks, and 6 UK Top 10 albums, staying in the Top 10 for 35 weeks. Front man, Andy McCluskey, is a hugely regarded song-writer and went on to conceive the popular girl group…. 2. Atomic Kitten (82 points)
