Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge launch event 10/09/16
10 September, 2016 @ 13:00 - 16:00
FREE
The launch event for the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2016 will take place on Saturday 10th September.
The View Two Gallery on Mathew Street will be open to the public as normal from 12pm to 5pm.
Liverpool Acoustic will be hosting the Liverpool Acoustic Afternoon from 1pm to 4pm. During this time songwriters are invited to come along and have a look around the View Two Gallery, one of Liverpool’s best independent art galleries.
To enter the challenge a songwriter will choose a piece of art in the gallery that inspires them. The songwriter then has a month in which to write a new song inspired by their chosen work of art and submit it as a recording along with a copy of the lyrics and a photo of the work of art. The judges will then choose 10 songs to go through to the Showcase Final on Friday 25th November 2016.
If for any reason a songwriter wishes to enter the challenge but cannot attend on Saturday 10th September then they can visit the View Two Gallery at any time during normal opening hours. Details of the opening days and hours can be found at viewtwogallery.co.uk
The Liverpool Acoustic Afternoon returns to the View Two Gallery for the final time this year on the same afternoon, Saturday 10th September.
As always, open mic slots will be available to request beforehand on the facebook event page, or on the day if there are any spaces left.
The afternoon also sees the launch of the single Someday We’ll See Better Days by the Liverpool Acoustic Collective. John Jenkins will be joined on the day by a selection of the artists who played or sang on the single, and CD copies will be available to buy with all profits going to the Whitechapel Centre.
The View Two Gallery is open from 12.00pm to 5.00pm, with the music running from 1.00pm to 4.00pm.
