Mersey Beat Reunion
First broadcast: 2 March 1971
Bernard Falk meets the people who were left behind by the end of the Mersey sound craze, from the Cavern Club's bouncer to The Beatles' first drummer, Tommy Moore.
As old friends are reunited at a poorly attended Mersey Beat convention, Falk also speaks to its optimistic organiser, Allan Williams, the former manager of The Beatles.
