It will be sixty years since the visit of Bob Dylan to the Adelphi Hotel during his controversial 1966 tour of the UK. In the afternoon before his appearance, Dylan found time to be photographed with kids playing out in Dublin Street. The street was empty because Everton were at that moment winning a heroic match in the FA cup final on the telly.

1966 wasn’t just about men in music and sport. There is a largely undocumented history of Liverpool women on the music scene in the mid-sixties, complete with seasons in Hamburg by the Band the Liverbirds. The mid-sixties was a period when Liverpool was never off the TV. From the rants of Alf “You Scouse Git!” Garnett to the social realism of Z Victor One on Z Cars, Liverpool was not short of small screen presence in 1966.
