Beverly Ann: From Liverpool’s Stages to the Magic of “Daystar”

 

Show Notes

What happens when a holiday singalong becomes the beginning of a new musical chapter?

Tony Mantor welcomes Liverpool singer and performer Beverly Ann to Almost Live Nashville for a conversation about a lifetime in music and the unexpected connection that led to her single “Daystar.”

Beverly shares her beginnings in a musical family, the lasting influence of mentor Hilda Fallon, and the lessons she learned performing with comedy legend Ken Dodd. She also recalls appearing at Liverpool’s Capital of Culture celebration alongside Ringo Starr and explains why connecting with an audience remains her greatest motivation.

A chance encounter on holiday in Crete eventually introduced her to a Belgian composer whose melody inspired “Daystar.” Blending pop, jazz, and cinematic influences, the song reflects her love of classic Hollywood and music that tells a story.

In this episode:

  • Growing up surrounded by Liverpool’s musical talent.

  • Hilda Fallon’s lessons in kindness and giving back.

  • Performing with Ken Dodd as a child.

  • A memorable encounter with Ringo Starr.

  • The holiday connection that sparked “Daystar.”

  • Finding inspiration through melody and imagination.

  • Balancing motherhood, touring, and songwriting.

  • Pursuing creative dreams at every stage of life.

Beverly’s message is simple: keep creating, take chances, and never assume your most exciting chapter has already happened.
