Liverpool Acoustic Live – Derek King album launch

Friday 17th June at Mathew Street’s View Two Gallery marks the release of Liverpool singer-songwriter Derek King’s second solo album, entitled “Seasons”.

Derek’s first album, “Sometimes” (released in the Spring of 2015) was a collection of timeless songs all about the ups and downs of everyday life, about sometimes winning and sometimes losing. In “Seasons” he continues to explore similar themes, about how, as the Earth turns, the changing of the seasons brings us constant change. Change can of course be predictable, but often we have little or no control over our fate. “Across the Strings” is a story about two strangers sharing a moment in time that could have perhaps have been more, “Summer Breeze” is all about a special someone entering one’s life as randomly and unexpectedly as a breeze, while “Perfect Days” tells us how to be happy while being broke.

This collection again contains two songs that were recent entries to the annual Liverpool Acoustic songwriting challenge, “Reflections” being about a man looking in the mirror and reflecting upon his life, and “Sally”, the story of a girl growing up who, seeing so much unfairness and unhappiness in the world, continually asks “why” and vows to campaign against injustice.

Support on the launch night will be provided by wonderful pianist and vocalist Nicola Hardman, plus Northern Irish folk-rock band Gary Maginnis and the Like.

Tickets are available in advance for £5.00 (+50p booking fee) from wegottickets.com/liverpoolacoustic or for £6 on the door on the night.

Doors open at our regular time of 7.45pm with the music starting at 8.15pm sharp.

Please note this is on the third Friday of the month, not our regular fourth Friday.

Please note, the performance space at the View Two Gallery is on the third floor and there is no disabled access.
