In the early '60s, four friends from Liverpool formed a band. But this is not the ‘fab four’ story we know . . .
The Liverbirds, comprising Mary, Sylvia, Valerie, and Pamela, were the first ever all-female Rock'n'Roll band. Despite John Lennon's early skepticism at the Cavern Club, where he declared 'girls don't play guitars,' they embraced the challenge. Within just five short years, they conquered tough crowds at the Star Club, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums, and collaborated with legends such as the Kinks, The Rolling Stones, and Chuck Berry.
In their newly released book, "The Liverbirds," surviving members Mary McGlory and Sylvia Saunders, share their full and remarkable story. The book, published by Faber on March 14th as both a print and audio version, captures a lost era of liberation and Rock'n'Roll, highlighting their thriving years in the vibrant Merseybeat music scene. It’s also a story of enduring friendship spanning decades.
The Liverbirds made a comeback at the end of 2023, welcoming Molly-Grace Cutler and Lisa Wright, known from the successful Liverpool musical "Girls Don't Play Guitars", as featured artists. The band recorded their new album in Hamburg, where it all began as well as in Brighton. The first single, "Diddley Daddy," is mixed and mastered in thrilling DOLBY ATMOS, promising an exciting experience for fans and audiophiles. The Liverbirds' revival coincides with the resumption of the musical in September 2024.
The Liverbirds are Mary McGlory (bass), Sylvia Saunders (drums), Molly-Grace Cutler (vocals & guitar) and Lisa Wright (vocals & guitar)

How this was overlooked for a commercial stuns me
czcams.com/video/rPSYDxrpa_k/video.htmlsi=PDkX0M5k7gcT7XAl
It wasn’t. Peter Pan used this.
It's shite that's why 😅
But Fun Shite it is!@@arto9775
Cos they were birds that's why 😁
Yeah, that little lady on the drums, excellent drummer and a joy to behold !!!
How can you not like her
Ironically, the song came out when you could still call women little lady.
She’s got great dimples!
Yes the female Ringo from Liverpool
@@jayhache5609
I’m pretty sure you still can, should you need to..
You just did so anyway.
I'm almost 69 and I never heard of this band.
Shame that your lucky ran out
Me, too.
Yeshualionofjudah7107...74 years here...I have never heard of them either . But my lunch is honey peanut butter on a banana everyday . Now my lunch has meaning and I will look up the group . One poster said they are still, together .The LiverSpots . I sure hope the don't have spots on their liver .
@@lar7905 t
@@lar7905 they're dead
I love how groovy the crowd are dancing.
And all these years I just thought it was a catchy ad for Peter Pan peanut butter. Never knew until this moment that it was an actual song.
Originally recorded by doo wop band the Marathons in 1961
It’s not an actual song.
@jayhache5609 then what is it? Not MUCH of a song, but still, a song.
@@rogerscalf231 …girls don't play guitars.
@@jayhache5609I saw Joan Baez several years ago, at a benefit. I suppose you could say she was no girl. But she was definitely playing the guitar.
The drummer is everything ❤
Such a cutie!
She's totally having fun.
Great drumming by Winona Ryder
@primtones >> Ya WINONA RYDER With SIDEBURNS..
I thought the same thing!
Mo Tucker came to mind........
and man is she working them skins!!
Just googled members of this band, never heard of them. Winona Ryder is NOT on drums.
Jeez..remember listening to this back in the day. I was six. No idea it was girls. But the little speaker on the transistor radio could only do so much.
It.s probabjy sacrilege to say this, but the singer sounds like a dude
The original wasn't girls. This is a cover.
Originally by the Marathons
@@cisium1184 Did I say the song I listened to as a six year old was the original?
@@williamwilson6499If you listened to it on the radio back in the day, then it was probably the original song that you listened to as a six year old.
They are still together touring as the LiverSpots.
👏😆
Touché. 🤣
I believe they're from the Klondike
That’s just mean🙄🤣
Somehow or other this one passed me by at the time. Anyway, looks like the girls were having a great time which is the main thing….👊
Finally, a song about man's inhumanity to man.
First time seeing them, fantastic!
That drummer rocks...she is awesome
What a sweet song, I feel like it’s really going to stick in my head for a while. I’m going to have to sandwich it into one of my many playlists.
Get it?
Great jam!
😅
You'd be nuts not to.
Honey, there may be a crack er two in your logic, but I’m sure Jelly Roll Morton and George Washington Carver would agree with you!
I would have been 7 when this was filmed. A great time in America and Britain. For some reason we threw it all away.
Great times in America and Britain, but sadly, the Liverbirds never made it to America.
Chris Hedges calls it a "slow-motion corporate coup" by oligarchs.
Yes, very true!
delusion
@@needtoknowbasis3499 ...is the solution.
Wow. Never heard of them. Really fantastic. Drummer was amazing.
I know oldies really well, and I never heard of them either. Then after 15 seconds into this video... I can see why.
We should pay more attention to female artists
She’s hitting the drums kind of wrong
LMAO@@KateMorganStyle
She was? She sure had a lot of energy and projected a lot of fun - but I kept waiting for a little fill here or there and never really got one.
Had never heard of them till now, really cool. 👍😄
Used to see them in Chislehurst Caves in mid 60s. Wonderful bands played there , The Herd , Kinks , Animals etc etc . I Loved the 60s!!
HOW YOUNG ARE YOU BUDDY ?
Poptastic! Nice Gretsch guitars.
Yes, I was also drooling over the guitars.
❤ I have Never heard of this Band or Song before, just when I thought I knew it all, I'm Diggin' It!!!
Great work by the television director during the guitar solo..
I was waiting for a shot of the lead guitar solo. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Solo ends then a wide shot of the group. ????
@@jody8526937
It’s a real bugbear of mine when directors or editors of performances appear to know very little about music. The 60’s seemed to suffer the most when they tried to be a bit 'arty' and some of it is either laughable or highly annoying.
A big culprit is Cream’s 1968 farewell show at the Albert Hall. A great live band but bloody hell some heads should have rolled for the visuals!
Recuerdo haber escuchado este tema cuando niño y jamás había visto este vídeo 😊, yo nací en el año 1965 y he retrocedido en el tiempo vcon este recuerdo. Gracias por el regalo 👍❤️🇨🇱
They deserved more recognition than what they originally got.
Why? They suck.
you suck
They deserve to be punished.
@@wjstephens4654 bit harsh
Very deep soul searching song
😂😂
I know. I'm still trying to find the hidden meaning.
much higher video and audio than you usually see from those days - loved the dancers. everybody looked like they were having fun. enjoyable
Great sound. Great stage presence. Love the guitars. And the drummer sporting what looks like the early skinhead-mod look is badass.
This song was on their greatest hits album 12 times.
LOL, good one!
13 on the re-release where it was also a bonus track
IM SUPRISED .THAT LAME 70's SOFT ROCK GROUP "BREAD" NEVER COVERED ANY OF THOSE 12 BEST HITS . I MEAN ESPECIALLY THIS JAM >>"PEANUT BUTTER "
It’s the really deep lyrics that stand out…
Yeah, they really do stick… to the roof of your mouth, don’t they? 🥜😜
The lyrics make me jelly.
😂
That's real poetry, that is!
HOW COULD ANYONE JAMM 2 THIS PEANUT BUTTY CRAP ? EVEN BACK THEN WITH THESE YOUNGSTERS . THEY ALL LOOK & R DANCING 2 THIS . AS IF ITS AWESOME. THEY WERE PROBABLY PAID . A YEARS SUPPLY OF THEIR FAVORITE 'PEANUT BUTTER '
When they pan to the audience dancing...I think you can see the Hollies waving at the back of the crowd...top of the screen. Awesome!
Yes…The Liverbirds really existed! Four very talented British women who cranked out some great music back in the mid 60’s! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
One song
Wow, this is amazing. A group of British women in the 60s around the same time as the Beatles? I never heard of them. This is amazing to see in spite of all the nasty comments I wonder if any of them are still alive today
The Internet just may have the answer to your question.
Who gives a shit about the overhyped Beatles. John Lennon told them when they were starting off that women don’t play the guitar
I thought that was Steve Marriot on the drums for a minute, they had style back then,
I also thought she looked like Steve Marriott 😅
If these ladies came around anytime other than the mid 60's, they would've been massive! Bu they did put out some great music for their time!
Just fantastic!
In 2019 we saw a wonderful play called "Girls Don't Play Guitars" Which was the musical story of The Liverbirds, at The Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. The actors/musicians were fab and really brought the story to life.
Then as a special treat. The two surviving members Mary McGlory & Sylvia Saunders came on stage to rapturous applause. Mary donned her bass guitar and Sylvia slotted in behind her kit and joined the cast in a rendition of "Peanut Butter". What a great great night.
My only hope is that the show gets put on DVD. I know the two remaining girls have written a book and I can't wait to read it.

Great,love that clips from dem Beat Club aus Bremen,German TV history 🎉🎙🎶🎵🎼greetings from nothern Germany and all the best, lookin forward for news and clips 👍🍀
Hello from Texas.
In Wallasey, Großbritannien! Wie Gehts, mate. Great music. It’s hard to believe though, I have always thought they were a fictional band!
its a fun song and the drummer looks like shes having a great old time!
Back in the 60s bands wrote songs about things that matter.
I like the sizzler on the drummers ride cymbal. Never seen one like it before.
Never heard of them till now.. Fantastic!
I remember this song!
Excellent, I wish I had had the chance to see them back in the day, they remind me of happy days long ago.
Fantastic, new to me but I will check out some more. Really tough to be a woman band back then. Kudos to their music and bravery
I went to some day camp when I was a kid, and I could swear we sang a song on the bus similar to this one- except there was a line about “jelly”, too. 😂
I resemble this remark
I'm in tears, I love this!
I has the pleasure to interview recently the rhythm section of Mary and Sylvia on my channel. Great fun and some fascinating stories about The Beatles, Jim Hendrix, the Stones and Chuck Berry 😎
Great beat ..band
Habe ich Anfang der 60ziger life in den Ringstuben gehört und gesehen!😂😊
The Peanut Butter 🧈 🎵 Song 🎶 they can certainly Rock. This song is great and it’s a 1st for me and folks dancing 💃 to this one.
FANTASTIC!
They were incredibly young... Part of the charm..
Wild and exciting
What a great voice tge lead singer has.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
G'day to you, a Steve Marriott look a alike on Drums, cool, Pretty Good ,never heard of them, great finding a new Band, have been watching Beat Box for years, always great 60s Music n Bands!
NICE JAM BY THE LIVERBIRDS!!!
THE LIVERBIRDS as in Liverpool, as in Beatles. They were likely thinking of being the all-female Beatles band of its day with bang cuts and the drummer's sideburns, how cool was that! so Ringo! Peanut Butter was the one song that spread throughout the world and made them the most bread. Yes. This group also performed at the famed Cavern Club and they returned to perform there again back in 2019. It has been reported that John Lennon at the time (60's) told the all-girl band that girls don't play the guitar...WOW!!!
Need I say years later, John was possibly taken aback by his own words. There is a cool article about the band in FAR OUT magazine online, dated August 4th, 2022. Look for the featured article, "The forgotten band who blew The Beatles out of the water at The Cavern Club."
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it very much!
I need to Spread this song around.
I start to get hungry just listening to them. I was about 6 when this was happening.
Fantastic girls!
I thought i had a good knowledge of music ,,but ive never heard of them 😮
Kicks #ss!!. CZcams gives us gifts like this. Very cool.
The drummer is a heavier drummer than Charlie Watts and Ringo 😊 put together
You must eat a lot of crayons.
They had deep voices. Sound like young men. Great group.
OMG! I've totally forgot this song and never knew an all girl band recorded it
When I'm 5 years old I thought my Mom made this song up hehe she'd sing it while making sandwiches who knew
Fabulous 😎 Haven't heard this for years
And let's not forget The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, an actual band from around '67.
Love the lyrics. Worthy of Neil Young! 😊 Drummer be working!!!
This Band predates the Go Go's,Bangles and Runaways.
By nearly 20 years, yes. Thanks, Captain Obvious
Bellbottoms in '65? I thought they were a bit later! Great drumming!! CHEERS! :)
Very groovy!
This is legit jam. Wow! So good with the fast tempo.
Had a number of chart hits in Germany
OMG that's so silly. The kids are gonna love it!
Very good!
Great love it xxx
Goodness check out that energy and those Sennheiser MD-421 mics
The Sennheisers were making my mouth water!
@@paxtonmusic9864And yet, the quality of the recording is way below what the Beat Club could do just a few years later.
People who dont know The Liverbirds, should really look them up. They were very popular in Britain during their time. Unfortunately, the American producers that were going to bring them over wanted to exploit them as females, ather than serious musicians. There used to be a documentary about them on CZcams. It's probably still on here.
1st time I heard this song was a cover by The Royal Guardsmen on their Snoopy versus the Red Baron album.
I love this!
I know this song from the Royal Guardsmen's cover. (They did Snoopy vs the Red Baron.) There's also a camp song based on this refrain. I'm now wondering if the Liverbirds were the original artists. It seems slightly unlikely to me that an all-girl band would have a sleeper hit like this one. Not impossible, of course, but that's two coincidences at once.
Just checked -- apparently it was first released by the Marathons in 1961.
The Royal Guardsmen didn't release their version till 1967. It's still my favorite.
I feel like they're trying to say something, but can't quite figure it out.
OK, there is an old rumor that some horny woman satisfy their sexual needs by applying peanut butter to "a certain part" of her lower anatomy & presenting it to her "attentive" dog. 😂
YES, I'm serious.
this is a bop
This one's a bit of a banger.
Fun fact, peanut butter was invented by a Canadian doctor in Montreal, Canada.
They dance so funny! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Early pioneer Woman Rock Group predating The Runaways by over twenty years!! 🎼👍😎
About 8 years actually.
There were others. I remember reading that when a record company signed a girl rock band back then, they took their guitars and pants away and gave them gowns. There was not much imagination when it came to marketing pop artists back then. Not sure how much there is much now days, but far more than then.
And as cool as these girls go, how many of us ever heard of them.
But imagine The Ronettes or The Shangri-Las performing like The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. How cool would that have been to your teen or preteen dreams?!
LOL ... uh, no.
no, not 20 years…the pussycats & the what four came out in 1965 as well.
Well The Pleasure Seekers from Detroit started in 1964 and were also popular locally like the Liverbirds.
Authentic girl Beatles. / first big or only 60s girl group! 🤞🏻
I remember that tune on a commercial about "Peanut butter" So now I see where it comes from. 😉
I like my "Peanut Butter" with "Jam Up and Jelly Tight".
There was a British TV sitcom early 70s called "Liverbirds". (Not connected to this band but same name). 2 girls sharing a flat in Liverpool. My Dad had a crush on the skinny crazy one
❤❤I was in love with Beryls brother Our Lucian ❤❤❤ can’t believe I remember that ❤❤❤thank you❤❤
This destroys the myth that FANNY was the first band of ladies
Late to their show but man I dig these girls.
Goose Liver and peanut butter, drummer looks like they/them are on a heroic dose of speed.......
Estupendas,me gustaban mucho hace muchos años
Gracias,las conocí sobre los 30 years old,ahora tengo 70 years old,y me siguen gustado,eran de la época The Beatles,sobre 1963/64,las conocí de oídas,y compré un LP,reedición me encantaron,y si sigo,eran buenas
Definitely there was something in the water in 1965.
Girls are having fun 😊
Saw them in Germany in the mid sixties they were playing at a local pub/dancehall in Bergen/Belsen they went down well. 2:25
Hot drummer!!
Nice cover ! Peanut Butter was in reality « Hully Gully Baby » by the Dovells 1962. But very nice version.
Their book is out now, The Liverbirds. A great slice of history from the early 60s and the Cavern scene.
