Hello From Merseyside (home Of The Rutles)

[Higherwatter]

Greetings lads "n" lasses. as you can see I'm a new poster to your excellent gear page. I'm siting writing this, several hundred yards away from the river mersey in a place you guys in the states would call "Liverpool England".
I found this forum by chance whilst stumbling around the web looking for info on vintage Celestion speakers and a mine of information it has certainly turned out to be. The detail and depth of your technical knowledge is truly amazing!

Greetings and welcome to TGP.

welcome to TGP.... are you an everton or liverpool fan??

Thanks to everyone for your welcome.

to ashley : I'm a massive Liverpool fan and an ex season ticket holder. (long story!) I still manage to get to a few home games each month.
Anfield is still an amazing football stadium. There's usually about
6 or 7 of my footy mates that go - it also involves a lot of this.........

Welcome Higherwatter, this is a great place!
BTW, my Father was born there!

I once wanted to name a band The Mersey Beat, only later to find out it had already been used. I knew about the paper.

Thanks! RHP52- Was your father born in Liverpool or the district of Anfield?

To Devinb:

You could have used that name - They were called The Mersey Beats!
Which paper?

Hello Higherwatter

I'm new(ish) here myself and agree that it seems like a real treasure-trove of information and expertise.

I also live in Merseyside but I'm a "woolyback" from just inside the county line (Newton-le-Willows nr. St Helens). As such I can't claim to have any of that ready scouse wit or charm!

Still - hello to you and everyone else here.

Well, he always said Liverpool. he came to the US at a young age. Came over on the Carpathia (ship) in 1906.
I'd love to visit sometime.

Welcome! Hope it's ok that I pull for those boys from Everton FC. I always tend to end up the fan of teams that might be considered more of an underdog... even though they are 5th in the table right now..:BEER

Hi Basher - I don't subscribe to all that "woolyback" stuff - were all from Merseyside!
