A historic moment has taken place in the world of music. Two iconic music cities have collaborated for The Liverpool International Song Contest — with The Road To Nashville linking Liverpool and the Tennessee city — and as part of this, a Beatles ‘Mic Of Unity’ has been presented to the people of Nashville from Liverpool.
In an act similar to the passing of the Olympic torch, Dr. Shamender Talwar, FRSA, Co-Founder of charity TUFF.earth, has presented the ‘Mic of Unity’ for The Road to Nashville – Liverpool International Song Contest (TRTN-L) to Nashville Vice Mayor Jim Shulman and the Metro City Council via Council Member Jeff Syracuse.
The presentation took place at the Nashville Metro City Council meeting on the evening of July 19, held at the Historic Metro Courthouse and the microphone serves as a symbol of hope and unity between the two music centres. It gives a voice to not only aspiring talent, but also offers help to those in need of mental health services via the TUFF charity’s complimentary mental health counselling services.
