A Music Lover’s Guide To January in Liverpool

It’s January, the festive month is behind us, so surely there is nothing to do…right? Wrong.

When it comes to getting out and about, especially if music is involved, you can always rely on Liverpool to deliver. Let us continue your Christmas indulgence into 2018 with this feast of live music.

11th/12th January – Winter Landscapes with Q&A, FACT

Music has the ability to transport you to different worlds, take you back to your past and even make you physically feel things that aren’t really there. On Thursday 11th January, at 7:30pm, or on Friday 12th at 1:30pm, our outstanding Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will take you on a journey of Winter Landscapes with the help of Andrew Manze and Marc-André Hamelin. One for Classical fans for sure, but also for those who are interested in the power of music. Also, the aftermath of the Thursday performance will see a Q&A with Andrew Manze and Marc-André Hamelin themselves in the Music Room.

27th Jan – Queen Zee and the SasstonesSound Food & Drink

Queen Zee and her band of Sasstones having been tearing up the UK of late, with 2017 being their year as they toured with Hardcore pioneers, Marmozets. The 5-piece Punk outfit return to this intimate local venue and we’re 100% sure that they will be tearing it up as much as they tour up the UK circuit in 2017. We think that we may already have a contender for craziest gig of the year in this one.

2016 was a year that saw us lose many famous faces and artists that we hold close to our hearts.
