Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2024 Showcase Final
8 February, 2025 @ 19:30 – 22:30
The Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2024 Showcase Final takes place at LEAF on Bold Street on Saturday 8th February 2025.
During the September entry period songwriters were invited to submit brand new songs inspired by works of art on public display across the Liverpool City Region.
Judges Kaya Herstad Carney, Robert Vincent, Jon Lawton, Luke Moore and Alison Benson listened to all of the entries and scored each one on lyrics, melody, composition, and originality.
After the marks were totalled the writers of the top ten placed songs were awarded places at the Showcase Final where they’ll perform their song with the work of art that inspired it projected on the screen for everyone to see. At the end of the evening the Judges’ Award Winner will be announced, and the Audience Favourite will be revealed.
The finalists will be announced on Monday 8th December 2024. The tickets for the Showcase Final will go live the same day.
The winning songwriters in each category will have their song prefessionally recorded by Jon Lawton at Crosstown Studios. They will also take home a songwriting or singing lesson from Kaya Herstad Carney, and a cello lesson or cello arrangement for their winning song courtesy of Luke Moore.
Doors at LEAF on 8th February open at 7.00pm and the show starts promptly at 7.30pm. We’re sorry but no under 18s are allowed after 10pm.
Proceeds will be split between Marie Curie Cancer Care and Garston Animal Rescue, in memory of Liverpool Acoustic team member Sharon Jones.
