**SOLD OUT** Merry Hell @ Music Room 13/01/17

UPDATE – This event is now SOLD OUT

Merry Hell – Liverpool Acoustic’s favourite folk-rock band – are bringing the infectious excitement of their Merry Helloween live show to the Music Room in January for a Friday the 13th Special!
Support is from Wirral-based Americana trio Jimmy Rae and the Moonshine Girls.
Merry Hell have made a name for themselves in recent years as one of the most energetic and entertaining bands on the UK folk festival circuit, and with three critically acclaimed albums under their belts (and a new one on the way) a visit to Liverpool is long overdue.
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, great reviews for live shows, and their albums ‘Blink … and You’ll Miss It’, ‘Head Full of Magic, Shoes Full of Rain’, plus previous offering ‘The Ghost In Our House and other Stories’ received rave reviews in the music press, with all three getting five star reviews. The brand new album ‘Bloodlines’ (released 1st November 2016) is 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.
Show: Merry Hell – Friday the 13th Special
Support: Jimmy Rae and the Moonshine Girls
Date: Friday 13th January 2017
Venue: Music Room, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Tickets: £13 full price, £11 concessions

PLEASE NOTE This is a standing event. Well, you can’t dance with tables and chairs in the way, can you? 😉

Woody Guthrie: Hard Times and Hard Travelin’ @ Music Room 04/10/16
2016-10-04 20:00 - 22:30 | Music Room, Myrtle Street, Liverpool, L1 9BP, United Kingdom
Woody Guthrie: Hard Times and Hard Travelin’ is a ‘live documentary’ presented by singer, multi-instrumentalist and Professor of American Literature and Culture Will Kaufman. Author of the first political biography of the legendary American balladeer, Will is recognised as the world’s leading authority on Woody Guthrie.
Woody Guthrie: Hard Times and Hard Travelin’ sets Guthrie’s songs in the context of the American 1930s – the Dust Bowl, the Depression, the New Deal and the state of popular music itself. Such hard-hitting songs as “Vigilante Man”, “Pretty Boy Floyd” and “I Ain’t Got No Home” are brought into conversation with other relevant songs – from Joe Hill’s “The Preacher and the Slave” to “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”. Altogether the show highlights the blending of music and radical politics that marks Guthrie’s most powerful work.
The ticket prices are £10 full price, £8 concessions available from liverpoolphil.com
