Liverpool Acoustic is the only website of its kind in the UK. It was founded by Graham Holland in April 2008 as a central resource for the vibrant and exciting acoustic music scene in Liverpool and the Greater Merseyside area. The website publishes news from the local acoustic music scene, previews of upcoming events, and reviews of music releases and gigs. This content is available for free via email subscription. Liverpool Acoustic also hosts its own shows at venues including the Music Room and LEAF on Bold Street.
For the last four years we’ve put out a call for any local acoustic musicians who have original acoustic songs that we could play on the Christmas edition of the Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight. You can hear the previous shows here. Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight 2011 Christmas Special Liverpool Acoustic Spotlight 2012 ChristmasContinue Reading
