IRT UK accents the Beatles' was quite cool IMO. It seems Liverpool has moved on to non-rhotic, and the closest anybody speaks that way now is from N Ire (Rory McIlroy seems a decent example).
Northern Irish and Scouse (Liverpool) are totally different.
Beatles accent was far less accentuated than current Scouse accent because fashion/trends were far more towards getting everyone to ‘Queen’s English’ than today.
