Liverpool music trail 'designed to inspire new musicians'

A new tourist trail celebrating Liverpool's rich musical heritage has been designed to inspire a new generation of creative talent. Twelve plaques, in the style of vinyl records, mark key locations which have played a role in the city's world-famous music scene during the last 60 years. The trail was developed by the Beatles Legacy Group (BLG), which was set up 10 years ago to recognise the continuing cultural and economic impact of the Fab Four. Former resident DJ of the legendary Liverpool nightclub Cream, Andy Carroll, said Liverpool also needed "putting on the map for more than just The Beatles" and added: "Cream became the destination for students and for people from all over the country." He added: "At one point, you couldn't get a US DJ in London because you had to come to Liverpool for them, because we had them at Cream. "Its always been a very musical city, and it still is today - there are still some great bands coming out of here. "There's an old saying: 'Always remember the past, but always look to the future'." The trail takes 90 minutes to complete on foot and includes the original entrance of The Cavern Club on Mathew Street, along with venues such as Erics, The Loma
