Biography:
Gerry Marsden formed the group in the late 1950s with his brother, Fred, Les Chadwick and Arthur McMahon. They rivalled the Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England. Mac (Arthur was called Mac as he didn't fancy the name Arthur) was replaced on piano by Les Maguire around 1961. They are known to have rehearsed at Camell Laird shipping yard at Birkenhead.
The band was the second to sign with Brian Epstein

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's my version of the Gerry and the Pacemakers Liverpool FC anthem. I've got it in F to fit my uke and my voice! Enjoy.
(Verse)
F C
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high,
Bb F C Cm
And don't be afraid of the dark.
Gm Eb Bb Gm Gm7
At the end of the storm is a golden sky,
Eb Bb Cm Bb Am F7
and the sweet silver song .....of a lark.
Bb C#dim F Gm7
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain,
F Am Bb C7
Though your dreams be tossed and blo....own.
(Chorus)
F F+ Bb G7
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
F F+ Bbmaj7 Ebdim C
and you'll ne...ver walk.............alone.
F F+ Bb C F
You'll ne - ver walk... alone!
(Repeat chorus until last line, then end on this:
F F+ Bb C Bb F (end)
You'll ne - ver walk... alone!
[NB: for the 'and you'll never walk alone' line
# i e second to last line of the chorus I like to
use the A-string to add 5ths for each chord.
So with the first F chord you'll play a C on the third fret
of the A-string, then a C#with the F+ and move up by
semitones until you get to the last C chord, when you'll be
playing an open C with E on the 7th fret of the A-string.
It reflects the string arrangement from the original nicely
and also means you can play the F+ and Ebdim on the bar,
which makes things a bit easier on the old fingers :)
