LIVERPOOL ACOUSTIC LIVE
FRIDAY 24TH OCTOBER 2014
ZOE MULFORD, SILENT CITIES, KATIE NICHOLAS
On Friday 24th October 2014 award-winning singer-songwriter Zoe Mulford will be performing at Liverpool Acoustic Live (Live Music Night of the Year, Liverpool Music Awards 2012 and 2013). Originally from Pennsylvania, Zoe now lives in Manchester and tours on both sides of the Atlantic, and in May this year won the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Competition.
BBC Radio Merseyside’s On The Beat presenter Spencer Leigh said about Zoe, “These days there are thousands of singer/songwriters but only few have something new to offer. I think Zoe Mulford is very special.”
Supporting Zoe at the View Two Gallery on Liverpool’s historic Mathew Street is Katie Nicholas, winner of the Michael Molloy Youth Music Award at the Liverpool Music Awards 2013. Katie rose to prominence last year with her hit song Chemistry and was championed by BBC Radio Merseyside’s Billy Butler.
Completing the lineup is Silent Cities, the solo project of Simon Madison, who like Zoe has received glowing comments from a high profile radio presenter. BBC Radio 6 Music’s Tom Robinson said, “It’s not a question of chords, lyrics, melody or recording quality it’s simply that sometimes you can tell within seconds that you’re listening to The Real Deal. And – take it from me – this artist, my friends, is The Real Deal.”

ARTIST INFORMATION
ZOE MULFORD
zoemulford.com
A set by award-winning American songwriter Zoe Mulford is like a small volume of short stories – evocative, beautifully crafted, and endlessly varied. Whether her starting point is a polar expedition in 1845 or a Greyhound bus ride in 2007, her vivid storytelling and down-to-earth humour take listeners on an enjoyable journey.
This warm and engaging performer backs her clear voice with guitar or claw-hammer banjo and draws on the traditional music of the US and the British Isles to make sense of the modern world. Originally from Pennsylvania, she now lives in Manchester and tours on both sides of the Atlantic.

“It’s not a question of chords, lyrics, melody or recording quality it’s simply that sometimes you can tell within seconds that you’re listening to The Real Deal. And – take it from me – this artist, my friends, is The Real Deal.”
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music (21/05/2012)
—————————————————
“Silent Cities combine crisp acoustic sounds, a sense of deep layers and that soaring, vulnerable vocal to create twelve and a half minutes of tender, troubled beauty.”
Supajam (Eigenlicht Review)
—————————————————
“Extreme Buckleyness! Nice!”
Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music
—————————————————
“Good Stuff – Great voice too!”
Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2 Folk Presenter
—————————————————
“It’s his extraordinary voice which sticks in the mind, as Simon channels the intensity of Jeff Buckley through a spooky Bon Iver-esque filter of haziness.”
Peter Guy, Liverpool Daily Post
—————————————————
“Who’s that guy who makes the whale noises again?”
Random jovial gentleman to a local promoter
