Yanni (guitar/vocals) is both proud and passionate about The Mersey sound. He was born in Liverpool in 1950 and he first played at the Cavern Club in 1964 with his band The Seftons. They went on to be very successful, recorded many singles and were very proud to be top of the bill when the Cavern re-opened in 1967. In 1997, a commemorative wall of fame was unveiled opposite The Cavern and The Seftons have their own brick in the wall alongside the names of all the bands that performed at the club.The Beat Legends have loved being invited and playing at the Mathew street festival in recent years. In 1972, Yanni found further success when he wrote and sang the theme tune to the long running TV show Candid Camera. Yanni has a wealth of experience spanning more than 40 years and contributes a genuine, reminiscent quality to the sound of The Beat Legends.
