If you are out there Geoff Hogarth, what can you tell us about this?
As much has I’ve been able to piece together so far, the items to be auctioned were seized by High Court order from the Merseybeat Hall of Fame Museum inside Fort Perch Rock, New Brighton. While no reason was given for the seizure, I suspect there were rightful ownership issues. For, as I understand it, all of the items and memorabilia on display in the museum were either donated or loaned by contributors. Could well be a case (but, this is only an informed guess on my part) that the family estate of one such late contributor wanted previously loaned items returned and were forced to go to the High Court in London to obtain permission to have them legally removed from the museum.
Geoff; is this somehow related to the late Harry Prytherch, former drummer of the Remo Four, who was very closely involved with the Merseybeat Hall of Fame Museum. Please do put me right if I’m wide of the mark?
