PAST NEWS, REPORTS & REVIEWS

LIVERPOOL DISCOVERS – LAUNCH EVENT

On Valentines Day I was asked to play at a place I've wanted to play in ever since I first saw the refurbished room: St.George's Hall Concert Room. Wow what a place!

I was honoured to play for the Launch of Liverpool Discovers with my 4-piece Gypsy Jazz-inspired band. We had such a lovely time thanks to the organisers and the Chandelier!!! It was also great to show my band off, which I'd like to do more of.

If you peer closely at the photo above you can see me doing my bit on stage! All the sculptures and portraits are now installed and already creating a great deal of interest from the passing public. The printed trail map is available from Visitor Centres and the volunteer helpers at the trail installations.

January 2010: Busker – Band in a Box TV

"A brand new and exclusive piece of original programming for bandinabox.tv. Busker is a new show where two musicians go head to head against one another on the streets to see who can earn the most money in one hour as a busker. In this show the contestants; Pete Murphy from Fidel Afro & Helen Maher, a singer songwriter who plays the accordian, brace the cold to play in Liverpool. Watch the video to see who won - it was a very close-run thing!"
