Special Programming in honor of John Lennon’s Birthday. KPTZ DJs Jim B. and DJ Mars are celebrating John Lennon’s birthday on Monday, October 9 with special programming: This is Mersey Beat! Both shows will feature music from bands that came out of Liverpool along with The Beatles in the early ‘60s beat music boom. You’ll hear The Beatles, of course, and other well-known and obscure Liverpool groups such as Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Searchers, The Big Three, The Merseybeats, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, and many more. Both Jim B. and DJ Mars will be joined by KPTZ news and entertainment guy – and Mersey Beat scholar – Casey Dolan, who will lend his knowledge and records to the proceedings. So, be sure to stream or tune in to these two big shows on KPTZ, Monday, October 9:
– The Jim B. Show with Jim B. – 9:30 to 11am
– Interstellar Underwear with DJ Mars – 3 to 5pm
