The song "Ferry Cross The Mersey" was by Gerry and the Pacemakers, not Gary. If memory serves, it was Gerry and the Pacemakers who also recorded, "You'll Never Walk Alone" now the anthem of Liverpool FC. Not mentioned in the article, but equally a Liverpool songbird is Cilla Black OBE, real name Priscilla Maria Veronica White. Brian is correct.

Just a couple of corrections, though. The current Cavern Club is not the original - that was bulldozed and filled in to make way for a car park many years ago. The present club is a good facsimile, but the Beatles never played there. And the anthem 'Ferry Cross The Mersey' was by Gerry and the Pacemakers, not Gary. Thanks for the interesting article.
