Almost half of the tickets for Jon Gomm at Leaf on Bold St on Thursday 26th March have already been snapped up. Last time he played at the same venue there were scores of people who missed out because they didn’t buy their ticket in time so if you want to see guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm in action then get your tickets as soon as you can from wegottickets.com/liverpoolacoustic
