Saskatchewan born duo APRIL MOON (Jaime April & Jason Moon) are headlining an ‘Americana All-Dayer’ at Future Yard in Birkenhead on Sunday, May 11, ahead of their new EP release (Forgiveness Juice) and subsequent UK / European summer tour.
The pair are known for their fun, high-energy live shows that combine irresistibly charming, boot-stompin’ tunes with intertwined twangy and jangly guitars, powerful vocal harmonies and a kick drum made from an old suitcase. They’ve put together a lineup of some of the best country / Americana musicians around including Leanne Brumfitt, Only Child, the Skylarks and The John Street Revival. Doors are at 3pm
On Saturday 12th April the Cafe have the latest instalment of their Cafe Concert Series and are thrilled to be joined by Serious Sam Barrett.
Sam is not only a stunning guitar and banjo player, but he writes songs that sound like they have been around for decades.
The combination of their cosy, licensed Cafe and Sam’s earthy traditional music should make this a night to remember. Sam says that Liverpool is one of his favourite places, so lets give him the welcome he deserves.
Want to take in a show? Why travel to London when tonight, the Orchestra and leading West End vocalists bring the musical hits right to Hope Street?
Packed with your favourite songs from Hamilton, Six, The Book of Mormon, Frozen, Aladdin, Mamma Mia!, Grease, The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, expect showbiz glamour and knockout tunes. And in the stunning surroundings of Philharmonic Hall, every seat is the best seat in the house!
There’s nothing the human voice can’t do. In Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, it paints a picture of heaven at the end of a journey through blue skies, summer storms and shining mountain peaks.
Meanwhile, Grace-Evangeline Mason’s exciting new piece has been created especially for our soloist Sophie Bevan, a soprano with a voice of pure gold. Strauss’ Don Juan kicks things off in truly swashbuckling style.
From the most delicate of musical miniatures, to the full splendour of Walton’s Crown Imperial, there’s nothing that can’t be played on a great organ.
And there’s no organist alive who knows the Philharmonic Hall organ better than Liverpool’s City Organist Ian Tracey.
There’s rhythm in the air, and it’s not just confined to Roberto Sierra’s toe-tapping Fandangos.
It’s the driving force behind the nostalgic melodies of Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances – the sound of a Russian composer stranded in Centerport, New York, and amid the freeways and palm trees of 1940s California. In between, Pablo Ferrández summons up the quiet power and deep poetry of Elgar’s hugely popular Cello Concerto. “A star in the making” says one critic: we say he’s already up there!
