Beat the January Blues, with Raphael Callaghan and friends 05/01/18
2018-01-05 20:00 - 23:00 | 81 Renshaw, 81 Renshaw Street, Liverpool, L1 2SJ, United Kingdom
Who doesn’t get the blues at the start of January? Christmas and New Year are over for another year. Our waists are wider, wallets and purses lighter, and we’re faced with the twin chores of taking down the decorations and dragging ourselves back into work…!
If that’s not enough to give you the January Blues then we don’t know what is.
But fear not, Liverpool Acoustic are here to help you Beat the January Blues with a FREE blues night at 81 Renshaw on Friday 5th January.
To make the night a little easier on the pocket all we’re asking for the poor blues men and woman performing on the night is that you make a donation into the PAY WHAT YOU FEEL bucket on the door.
RAPHAEL CALLAGHAN
Headlining is former Liverpool resident and respected bluesman Raphael Callaghan. As ‘Blue C’ along with Christine Purnell, Raphael organised regular blues events at Fort Perch Rock before moving to North Wales. Now a solo artist, Callaghan has recently launched a new album called Said And Done, and is playing his first gig back in Liverpool for a fair few years.
AL ‘BLUESMAN’ PETERS
AL is a legend on the local music scene and one of the best blues musicians around. AL plays songs about love, loss, war, politics, and youthful exuberance.
JO BYWATER
A professional guitar teacher by day, by night Jo is equally at home on a stage performing her distinctive style of blues inspired by her resonator guitar and the ups and downs of life. Jo is a previous winner of the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge.
Doors open at 7.30pm and the music kicks off at 8.00pm with a short set from Liverpool Acoustic head honcho Graham ‘The Greens’ Holland.
Remember, this is a FREE gig with a PAY WHAT YOU FEEL donation bucket – even blues performers have to eat!

Ten talented local songwriters have won a place at the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2017 Showcase Final taking place on Saturday 13th January 2018 at the new venue, LEAF on Bold St.
Songwriters submitted brand new songs inspired by works of art on display across the Liverpool City Region during the October entry period. Judges Stephen Langstaff, Kaya Herstad Carney, Robert Vincent and Jon Lawton listened to all of the entries and gave each one a score based on lyrics, melody, composition and originality. The points from the judges were added together and the songwriters with the ten highest scores were awarded a place at the Showcase Final.
Each of the ten finalists will perform their song at the Showcase Final with an image of the work of art that inspired it projected onto the big screen for everyone to see. At the end of the night the winner of the Judges’ Award will be announced and a vote will be taken to find the Audience Favourite winner. The winning songwriters in each category will have their songs professionally recorded at Crosstown Studios.
In addition, there will be a special performance on the night from Operation Lightfoot, who were such a big hit at previous Showcase Finals.
The finalists are (in alphabetical order):-

Emma Thuy Linney – Disappearing
Freya Halvorsen – Devine Sarah
Hilde Gundersen – Listen
Iain Paterson – Long Dark Road
Junior Dayvis – Passage Of The African
Keir Howard – Speaking
Lydiah – Narcissus
Michael Aldag – Wings
Sarah Jones – Only You Who Knows
Tom Stichbury – Forlorn and Raised

Each of the ten songs is available to listen to on the Songwriting Challenge SoundCloud page where you can also see the work of art that inspired it and read the lyrics.
soundcloud.com/songwritingchallenge/sets/showcase-final-2017
Entry to the Showcase Final is £6 in advance and on the door. All profits will be divided between Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Woolton Centre and Garston Animal Rescue in memory of Liverpool Acoustic team member Sharon Jones.

Liverpool Acoustic Live 9th Birthday featuring Lee Southall (The Coral) 02/02/18
2018-02-02 20:00 - 23:00 | 81 Renshaw, 81 Renshaw Street, Liverpool, L1 2SJ, United Kingdom
Liverpool Acoustic Live celebrates its 9th birthday (and its first in new venue 81 Renshaw) by welcoming former member of The Coral Lee Southall for a very special, intimate concert.
Lee Southall brings a wealth of experience to his solo performances. As a founder member of The Coral, he’s already enjoyed a career that spans seven albums. His solo work hinges on finely crafted songwriting and virtuoso acoustic guitar. Folk, pop, blues and country thread their way through songs that take inspiration from the melodic intricacy of Bert Jansch and Davey Graham, through to the raw sparseness of Karen Dalton and Townes Van Zandt.
His debut solo album ‘Iron in the Fire’ was released April 2017 on Wonderfulsound.
Also on the bill will be the winner of the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2017 (announced on 13th January).
Tickets are £8 in advance (and on the door if any remain).

Doors open at 7.30pm and the music starts at 8.00pm.

Merry Hell, plus Fine Lines @ Music Room 17/02/18
2018-02-17 20:00 - 22:30 | Music Room, Myrtle Street, Liverpool, L1 9BP, United Kingdom
Merry Hell – After last year’s sold out show Liverpool Acoustic’s favourite folk-rock band are returning to the Music Room on Saturday 17th February for another hell-raising show.
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 current offering ‘The Ghost In Our House and other Stories’ received rave reviews in the music press, with all three getting five star reviews.
Support is from Knutsford-based folk and alt-country band Fine Lines.
Tickets are £13 (£11 concessions) from liverpoolphil.com
PLEASE NOTE – This is a standing gig. Limited seating is available in the bar area from 7pm on a first come, first served basis.

Featured guest this week: from Preston the Susie Jones Band
As always we encourage performers to arrive early and stay after they’ve played to support other performers. We have a decent enough PA at the venue, a mic and stand, and some cables as well – if you need extra mics and things please bring your own along. Oh, and please bring your instrument too (i.e. snap your own strings!)
