Marc Almond returns to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall to perform songs from his latest top 20 solo album, Chaos and a Dancing Star, plus his biggest hits and favourites from his extensive catalogue.
Chaos and a Dancing Star was released to critical acclaim just before the pandemic and lockdown. Marc was able to perform a one off concert in February 2020 at the Festival Hall with co-writer/producer Chris Braide, joined by special guest, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.
Not only will this tour be the first outing of his recent solo album, Soft Cell have also released a UK chart top 10 album Happiness Not Included, including the celebrated No.1 single ‘Purple Zone’, featuring the Pet Shop Boys.
Spanning over four decades, Marc Almond’s lauded career has seen him receive an Ivor Novello Inspiration Award in 2013, a Brit Award, as well as an OBE in the 2018 New Year Honours for his services to arts and culture. Having sold over 35 million records worldwide, Marc Almond has enjoyed both critical and commercial success realising decades of chart dominance, and has had international singles and albums chart success with both Soft Cell and as a solo artist.
Folk legend Martin Carthy, dubbed the ‘Godfather of English Folk’, comes to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall’s Music Room this September.
Support on the night is from accomplished musician and songwriter Danny Bradley, winner of the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge Judges’ Award for 2021.
For more than 50 years, Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest and best loved innovators. His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers, not only from within the folk scene, but also far beyond it.
Trailblazing musical partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife (Norma Waterson) and daughter Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums. Whether in the folk clubs, on the concert stage or making TV appearances – there are few roles that Martin Carthy hasn’t played.
The Choir with No Name Liverpool, a choir involving homeless and marginalised people, are thrilled to be hosting their annual Big Gig! at the Everyman for the first time.
Fresh from performances at The Bombed Out Church, LCR Pride, The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall with the Spooky Men’s Chorale, and previously at the Everyman with Headlong Theatre!
Expect an uplifting night of singalong rock and pop classics at this unique, feel-good event for all the family. Come and sing your socks off, to help raise money to support the choir. They will be joined by special guests, to be announced.
The legendary Hailu Mergia is set to play Birkenhead’s most exciting music venue this September.
Future Yard will bring the Ethiopian keyboardist, master accordionist and veteran bandleader to the Wirral on Tuesday 6th September as part of their FUJAZZI series; a regular set of shows exploring the outer edges of jazz.
Hailu Mergia rose to prominence in Ethiopia in the 1970s, leading the Walias Band in their exploration of hard funk, traditional music and jazz in Ethiopia’s capital.
The Scaffold are back for a very welcome and long overdue return to the Everyman!
John Gorman, Roger McGough and Mike “McGear” McCartney are reuniting for an exclusive and very special live show celebrating an incredible 60 years of The Scaffold.
The Scaffs first came together as part of the Merseyside Arts Festival in October 1962. So this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate their anniversary with them. And what’s more they made their debut right here on Hope Street, at a venue that would soon after be renamed as the Everyman.
They went on to present their distinctive mix of comedy and poetry to packed theatres both around the UK and across the world, they became staples on peak-time TV and they produced a string of unforgettable hit records including Thank U Very Much, Lily the Pink and Liverpool Lou.
Now they’re back in person, live on stage* to share a host of amazing and hilarious stories, sketches, poems, photographs and songs all celebrating the story of The Scaffold.
So do not miss this unique opportunity to join these three absolute Liverpool legends as they uncork a fresh bottle of medicinal compound and present a show full of laughs, memories and hopefully the odd sing-a-long.
It’s going to be a truly historic experience!
Liverpool’s Mellowtone Records present an intimate night of music downstairs at the Everyman featuring Dan Wilson & The Counterfactuals, Granfalloon + Beaten Tracks DJs…
Currently working on his fourth album; a double, potentially triple album… Granfalloon continues the work of his third album, Positive Songs, to focus more on traditional songwriting, and not quite traditional storytelling, to chisel out small, beautiful moments.
It showcases this non-traditional storytelling with subject matter like… the meta-narrative approach to the dangers to you and the relationships around you that writing can have, expressing love through mathematical formulae, and 8 year old girls catching bees in Tupperware boxes, all with a heavy dose of Richard Lomax’s absurdism.
Dan Wilson is a singer/songwriter and musician with The Cubical/Los Separatistas and a solo artist with Dan Wilson & The Counterfactuals. He is known for his unique lyrical and vocal style and is also a writer of poetry and short stories. This is music that creaked of old wooden bars and dark corners. Music aged in barrels and smelling of a days work well done. Blues soaked Folk and Rock with Jazz undertones to whet the appetite.
Oyé takes a trip across the water to Future Yard in Birkenhead where the trailblazing venue hosts the legendary Zamrock outfit WITCH: We Intend To Cause Havoc, brought to the stage in collaboration with HSP PRSNTS on 16th August.
Led by the charismatic Jagari Chanda, and supported by Dutch musicians Jacco Gardner and Nic Mauskovic, W.I.T.C.H is a force of nature; a fireball of psychedelic rock underpinned by African rhythms that took Zambia by storm in the 1970s.
In the early 2010s, record-crate diggers “re-discovered” W.I.T.C.H but could find almost no information about the group, and so set out to find the band. What followed is documented in We Intend to Cause Havoc (2019), a documentary about finding the only two living members: Chanda, the lead vocalist during the Zamrock period; and Patrick Mwondela, the keyboardist during the disco period.
This documentary, as well as reissues of the band’s catalog, sparked interest from fans all over the world—and W.I.T.C.H. are now back on tour.
It would be no understatement to describe Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale as a musical icon. With his career now entering its sixth decade, he has earned an international reputation as a musical pioneer.
After devoting his formative musical years to classical and avant-garde music, Cale formed The Velvet Underground with Lou Reed in 1965 and made two albums before parting ways in 1968 and beginning an epic solo career during which he has so far released 16 studio albums.
His list of credits as a producer and collaborator could easily be mistaken for a who’s who guide to cultural icons, with Cale having contributed to releases by Brian Eno, Patti Smith, The Stooges, Squeeze, Happy Mondays, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Super Furry Animals, and Manic Street Preachers.
