The music the city is famous for is directly influenced by soul music, and we feel it is an overlooked part of the city’s heritage. We are planning a great event to do just that, as well as showcase talented young artists of today”.

It’s shaping up to be an exciting and unique event, promoting Liverpool as the soulful city it has always been; the kind of event that the people of Liverpool and visitors to the city can embrace with their hearts and soul.”
