The Liverpool Scene was a poetry band, formed around 1967, which included Adrian Henri, Roger McGough, Andy Roberts, Mike Evans, Mike Hart (ex Liverpool Roadrunners), Percy Jones and Brian Dodson. Four LPs were issued with Henri's poetry heavily featured. The first one was produced by Liverpool DJ John Peel, who was then working on the pirate radio station Radio London. The Liverpool Scene disbanded in April 1970.
Adrian Henri (10 April 1932 – 20 December 2000) was the founder of this poetry-rock group the Liverpool Scene and as one of three poets in the best-selling anthology The Mersey Sound, along with Brian Patten and Roger McGough. The trio of Liverpool poets came to prominence in that city's Merseybeat zeitgeist of the 1960s and 1970s.
