Liverpool Acoustic is the only website of its kind in the UK. It was founded by Graham Holland in April 2008 as a central resource for the vibrant and exciting acoustic music scene in Liverpool and the Greater Merseyside area. The website publishes news from the local acoustic music scene, previews of upcoming events, and reviews of music releases and gigs. This content is available for free via email subscription. Liverpool Acoustic also hosts its own shows at venues including the Music Room and LEAF on Bold Street.

With support from rising star Astles and appearances by some very special guests, this promises to be an evening to remember.Continue Reading
