Musicianship

Bill Drummond of KLF gives tips on musicianship.

The Beatles have had a huge influence on musicians from Liverpool, whether as an influence or a dominant presence to rebel against.

Bill Drummond remembers buying his first Fab Four single, Strawberry Fields: "Well let me take you down cos I'm going... I thought, wherever he wants to take me, I want to go there."

Bill Drummond is an art terrorist and author, whose previous bands include The KLF and Big In Japan. Early career involved producing and managing Echo & The Bunnymen.

This video was shot by National Museums Liverpool as part of the Musicianship strand of The Beat Goes On exhibition, which charts sixty years of popular music in one of the world's most famous musical cities. The in-depth interviews explore themes such as local influences, career paths and performance. Watch more videos from How to be a Musician to build a picture of how scenes and careers can develop in a particular place at different times. The Beat Goes On is at the World Museum Liverpool until 1st November 2009.
