Yesterday was a very special day at Roy Basnett and Claire Campbell’s Podcast Studio. I had the privilege of sitting alongside Billy J Kramer, who shared such heartfelt memories of his life in the music scene of the Sixties.

Listening to him talk about his time with John Lennon, Cilla, and the vibrant Merseyside music community was like stepping back into a golden era of Liverpool’s story.

I’m delighted to share that Billy J Kramer is now becoming an ambassador for Liverpool Heartbeat. His passion for young people, creativity, and the city’s legacy shines through, and we couldn’t be prouder to welcome him into our family.

This was only a glimpse of what’s to come. The full podcast will be released soon, and I can’t wait for you to hear Billy’s stories in his own words. It’s a celebration of Liverpool, of music, and of the heartbeat that connects us all.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
