    Beatles White Album 50th anniversary concerts on Liverpool Pier Head

    Two star-studded charity concerts are set to be staged on the Liverpool waterfront this September to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ White Album.

    LEAP festival dances back in to Liverpool for 2018

    LEAP Dance Festival returns to Liverpool this autumn with ‘female focussed’ programme under the theme Suffrage!

In addition, LEAP is also part of Liverpool 2018, marking 10 years since the city’s Capital of Culture year, and MDI has planned a busy programme for the 10-day event running from November 2-12.

    Terracotta Warriors a record-breaker for NML

    More than 370,000 people have booked to see the Terracotta Warriors since they went on show in Liverpool in February.

Interest in the World Museum exhibition, part of Liverpool 2018 celebrations marking 10 years since the city’s Capital of Culture title

    Time to Tickle the Ivories at Liverpool ONE this summer

    Tickle the Ivories is returning to Liverpool ONE – and you never know who you might see at the piano keyboard. Last summer eagle-eyed shoppers might have spotted Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer and jazz pianist Diana Krall playing some rollicking honky tonk at one upright outside John Lewis, while husband Elvis Costello filmed her and uploaded the footage on Twitter. Meanwhile 10-year-old Harrison Crane from Ormskirk drew a crowd with his rendition of I Giorni by Ludovic

    Boisterous Bouncers back at Liverpool Royal Court

    Boisterous Theatre Company is bringing its acclaimed production of Bouncers back to Liverpool’s Royal Court – but this time on the main stage. The new company, which was formed to support and nurture talented performers, writers and creatives from Liverpool’s Black and Minority Ethnic communities, enjoyed a sell-out success in the studio theatre downstairs at the Roe Street venue earlier this year. Now its Urban Remix version of John Godber’s classic nightclub comedy is trans

    Review: The Big I Am at Liverpool Everyman *****

    So, to the Everyman Rep’s final production of 2018 – and Robert Farquhar’s audacious take on the Peer Gynt legend is quite a finale. The playwright has taken Ibsen’s mythical magnum opus and turned it in to a captivatingly crazy theatrical ride along the lines of his previous Everyman show, Dead Heavy Fantastic. With the full Rep company at the disposal of Farquhar and director Nick Bagnall, the pair have created a chaotic carnival of reality and fantasy, populated by a serie
