Those of you who have who read the preview of the Liverpool Acoustic Live gig this coming Friday 24th September at the View Two Gallery on Mathew Street (check out the preview and the Spotlight audio show here) will know that we’ve got a group visiting from Sweden.
The Orchestra (also known as the Hardy T Anderson Band) are a 5 piece from Sweden who play full-on, rootsy, soulful music with a touch of country and blues. In fact, they’ll be playing a little more on the bluesy side for the View Two gig!
The guys in the band are driving all the way from Sweden, and really need your help when they arrive.
- In order to get the best out of their short stay the band would dearly love to play some other gigs while they’re in Liverpool. Do you know of any music pubs or venues that would consider booking a five piece bluesy band for a gig? They are available on the evening of Thursday 23rd September, and any time Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th. If you can help in any way please email Anders Härdevik on ahardevik@hotmail.com
- They’re also looking to borrow a small drum kit for the gig on Friday night. If you can help with this you’ll get free entry into the gig for yourself and one other, plus two free drinks at the bar. You’ll also get the eternal gratitude of Magnus Nilsson, the group’s drummer, who’ll be forced to bang on the top of the piano if we can’t get him some drums! If you can help with this, email contact@liverpoolacoustic.co.uk as soon as possible.
Liverpool is famous for the way it welcomes visiting musicians and bands from overseas, and for going the extra mile to help them out while they’re here. Let’s see if we can live up to that reputation, and send them back to Sweden with nothing but glowing reports from their time here.
