The Liverpool Beat 5 Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamElle: Unfortunately as I am no longer able to maintain this series I have archived it.
It has been quite a popular series and the locations are still worth visiting even without the caches.
Thanks to all those who have visited.

Geocache Description:

The Liverpool Beat caches are a series located in public parks in the Liverpool area to honour the Liverpool music scene. Parking for this cache is available at N53 21.785 W2 52.824

This cache is a 0.7l box. It contains the usual items but also has part of a code to enable you to work out the co-ordinates for the final cache of this series. Depending on which order you find the caches, you may or may not need to complete them all to find the final cache. The codes are in Liverpool Beat 1 - 5 caches and consist of letters and numbers printed on the front of the logbook and also on a laminated card in the cache which together will give the co-ordinates for the final cache, "The Liverpool Beat 6, The Merseybeats"

Billy J Kramer was born William Howard Ashton on August 19th 1943, Bootle. He was introduced to The Dakotas after Brian Epstein discovered Billy at the The Cavern with his band The Coasters. The 'J' was allegedly suggested by John Lennon. Epstein's Beatle connection provided Kramer with Lennon/McCartney songs which sparked five Top-ten hits over four years. Further success was not forthcoming and Billy left the Dakotas in 1967 for an unsuccessful American career.
