You step from a compact taxi into a grey-blue Liverpool morning and the city answers in fragments of melody — a brass band warming up near the Pier Head, a distant sea-breeze off the Mersey that once framed early Beatles gigs. The tour moves at a measured pace: suburban terraces, the modest homes where chords were first struck, and the public patches of land that became song.
