There are two events of note this Saturday 18th April. You luck, lucky people!
The Parting Glass is a brand new event taking place at Mello Mello on Slater Street in Liverpool city centre.
It's being organised by local singer-songwriter, and award-winning playwright, Lizzie Nunnery, and her friend Lindsay Rodden. Together, they're going by the name of Almanac Folk. The plan is to do sporadic folk/acoustic events rather than a regular night. Let's face it, if Lizzie Nunnery is involved then it can only be a great night!
Saturday 18th April
Mello Mello, Slater Street
Doors 7.30pm
£2 entry
Almanac Folk present The Parting Glass - a night of drinking songs and leaving songs: old, new, traditional and alternative. Expect folk, bluegrass, storytelling...
Artists include Jez Wing, Lizzie Nunnery, Jack Roberts and Alan Wright (of Arthur Shelton Jones and Friends). Good beer, wine and tea to be had by all.
Hosted by Almanac Folk (Lizzie Nunnery and Lindsay Rodden).
