Merry Hell return to raise merry hell at the Music Room this month
After last year’s sold out show Merry Hell – Liverpool Acoustic’s favourite folk-rock band – return to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall’s Music Room on Saturday 17th February 2018 for a repeat performance. Once again the tables and chairs will be cleared away to make space for the dancing – it wouldn’t be a Merry Hell show without dancing!
Merry Hell have been making a name for themselves in recent years as one of the most energetic and entertaining bands on the UK folk festival circuit, picking up plenty of awards along the way. The band won Best Group at the 2015 FATEA Awards, Best Album (Bloodlines) at the 2016 FolkWords Awards, and just last month bagged Best Single (Come On, England!) at the 2017 FATEA Awards.
Merry Hell is a band founded on the ever-evolving Folk tradition – music made by the people and shared by the people. Though their hearts and souls are tuned to the songs which came before, Merry Hell bring us new words and music forged from their own experiences, from the lows and the loves of their lives.
Emerging from the ashes of festival favourites, punk folk band Tansads, Merry Hell retains a nucleus of brothers John, Bob and Andrew Kettle (guitar, mandolin and vocals respectively), along with keyboard player, Lee Goulding and drummer Andy Jones, the addition of keys and vocalist, Virginia Kettle has helped create a new identity, purpose and spirit, in their music. She took little persuading to trade in her solo singer-songwriter past for a future in the band. Her prolific, ingenious and insightful song writing is one of the focal points of Merry Hell’s recordings and live performances – her presence has perfectly complemented a group which has taken particular pride in penning originals.
Merry Hell have a growing fan base with their albums receiving rave reviews in the music press. Their live shows are chock full of more Merry Hell magic as they continue to win over fans old and new with their infectious brand of modern folk rock.
Join Merry Hell on Saturday 17th February at the Music Room for much merriment, music, singing, laughter, and dancing! At a Merry Hell show there’s always dancing!
Support is provided by Knutsford’s Fine Lines, a band based around the core pairing of singer-songwriter David Boardman and co-vocalist Zoe Blythe. In their short time together they’ve already released a debut album ‘Hour Of Need’ and supported John Power (The La’s/Cast) and Mark Radcliffe’s Galleon Blast.
