Gary KempGUEST
He, he, he, he discovers Liverpool.
Gary KempGUEST
He invents Liverpool as a, as a place that everyone wants to go to because not only does he bring down the Beatles, he brings down, you know, Gerry and the Pacemakers-
Mark EllenHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gary KempGUEST
... and Cilla Black and, uh, Billy J. Kramer and, uh, Tommy Quickly and ...
Mack MaloneyHOST
Yeah
JuanHOST
... that's how the, uh, The Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers cut their teeth, um, hanging out in Hamburg.
Mack MaloneyHOST
Mm.
Mack MaloneyHOST
Right, the Reeperbahn.
Andy BuckGUEST
And-
David DavisHOST
But even, even mid-'60s Although it was the expl- the front end of the explosion of the '60s in terms of The Beatles and The Stones, and others, but, uh, Gerry and the Pacemakers, uh, inspired so many people to start bands.
Billy PerkinsGUEST
Right.
David DavisHOST
It was still in the front end of a lot of people haphazardly like, "How do we start a band?"
Matt CorrGUEST
There's a famous one that Gary's break, the Leeds goalkeeper, don't know if you remember him, apparently he dropped, he dropped the ball on the net one night and he started singing Careless Hands, so nice bit of humour there.
Matt CorrGUEST
So if I was a betting man, I would say it's probably more likely that the song started on the Cop as a consequence of Gerry and the Pacemakers making it number one.
Matt CorrGUEST
That would seem logical, but I guess we'll never know.
Matt CorrGUEST
My argument usually when I get asked that with Liverpool fans is, well, you might sing it first, but we sing it better.
Mac MaloneyHOST
Yeah
Juan JuanHOST
... that's how the, uh, The Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers cut their teeth, and hanging out in Hamburg.
Mac MaloneyHOST
Mm.
Mac MaloneyHOST
Right.
Richard GarnettHOST
[laughs]
Brian ReadeGUEST
[laughs] Landed on France 24, and they s- the, and the French, uh, presenter in English said, uh, "We're now going live to the Place Saint-Gervais, uh, for the, um, where they'd all gather for the 10th anniversary of the Bataclan disaster." So all the dignitaries are there, all the families, and he says, "Where they're gonna be singing Gerry Marsden and The Pacemakers' You'll Never Walk Alone." So he deliberately said Gerry Marsden and The Pacemakers.
Brian ReadeGUEST
I'm thinking, "Well, this is France.
Brian ReadeGUEST
They don't even like English words in music.
Peter FordGUEST
Yeah.
Peter FordGUEST
So this is obviously all happening, uh, even though we've had, you know, fairly negative blowback to the idea of Jai Arrow doing a, a lap of honor and this group of singers who are going to perform "You'll Never Walk Alone," which I keep reading as Gerry & the Pacemakers' hit, which indeed it was.
Peter FordGUEST
It's been recorded by many, many people.
Peter FordGUEST
But of course, it's a Rodgers and Hammerstein song from the musical Carousel.
Mark LevyHOST
It will be led by indie pop star Amy Shark and include members from Australian bands Grinspoon, The Screaming Jets, Peking Duck and Teen Jesus and The Gene Teasers.
Mark LevyHOST
They'll perform the Gerry and the Pacemakers classic You'll Never Walk Alone, the Liverpool FC anthem to which the Souths forward who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease took the field for his 100th match last month.
Mark LevyHOST
It's understood Arrow's lap of honour will be done in a car and will take place at 7.05 on Sunday before a 7.30 kick-off.
Mark LevyHOST
The NRL will prompt the 82,000-strong crowd for a bow and arrow celebration, the gesture being made in support of Arrow after players scoring tries instead of a Mexican wave.
Miles Holbrook-WalkCORRESPONDENT
I've asked him, and many other journalists have too, a couple of times, who exactly is playing.
Miles Holbrook-WalkCORRESPONDENT
The only details he's released is that it will be Australian musicians doing some sort of tribute to Jai Arrow, who revealed his motor neurone disease diagnosis this year, In a story that really transcended rugby league and whatever this tribute is, it's likely to feature Gerry and the Pacemakers, You'll Never Walk Alone.
Miles Holbrook-WalkCORRESPONDENT
It is a story that has brought the community together and has kind of put in perspective perhaps the fact that this is just a game and it is just sport, but it can be an incredible force for some powerful things and raising money and awareness and really an outpouring of love for Jaiara has been a big part of the NRL this season.
Rachael MealyHOST
Miles Holbrook-Walk.
Jim SamariaHOST
And produced by the great Sir George Martin.
Jim SamariaHOST
The band's lead vocalist was Jerry Marsden, and his band was the Pacemakers.
Jim SamariaHOST
And their first three singles topped the charts in the UK, while seven made it to the top 40 in the U.S.,
Mark PlotnickHOST
So, Jim, let's get to two sublime songs from 64 and 65, respectively.
Mark PlotnickHOST
So we're just going to play Jerry and the Pacemakers performing Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying, followed by Ferry Across the Mercy.
Mark PlotnickHOST
And, of course, for those who don't know, the Mercy is the river that flows past Liverpool right into the Irish Sea.
Jim SamariaHOST
I did not know that.
