Bill Harry: How did you end up here?

Liverpudlian Bill Harry bore witness to the explosion of music in the city in the late 50's and early 60's, documenting the rise of bands such as Gerry and the Pacemakers and of course The Beatles. A scene he named 'Mersey Beat' before founding a newspaper of the same name. He was also the first to publish his friend John Lennon's poems and stories which were later released as books. He later worked in PR with bands such as Pink Floyd and The Kinks. This is an interview I did with him in 2008, shortly before Liverpool hosted the MTV Music Awards as part of it's year as European City of Culture.
