Liverpool Acoustic - Press Release
For Immediate Release: 10th January 2017
Come and raise Merry Hell at the Music Room on Friday
Merry Hell – Liverpool Acoustic’s favourite folk-rock band – bring the infectious excitement of their Merry Helloween live show to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall's Music Room this coming Friday 13th January 2017.
However, if you want to join them you'll have to be quick as there is only a limited number of tickets still available for this all standing, all dancing event!
Merry Hell have made a name for themselves in recent years as one of the most energetic and entertaining bands on the UK folk festival circuit, and with three critically acclaimed albums already under their belts a visit to Liverpool is long overdue.
A selection of band members will be warming up for the gig live on the air when they join broadcasting legend Billy Butler from 2.30pm on his BBC Radio Merseyside show on the afternoon of Friday 13th January. Tune in on 95.8 FM, DAB, 1485 MW, online and via the BBC iPlayer Radio app.
Opening for the band on the night are Jimmy Rae and the Moonshine Girls. This trio of singer-songwriter and guitarist Jimmy Rae, pianist Izzy Ryder, and singer Sarah-Lou Fletcher hail from Wirral, and play songs rooted in the American rock 'n' roll and country traditions, plus an enchanting twist of celtic folk.
Not to be outdone by Merry Hell, Jimmy Rae and one of the Moonshine Girls (Sarah-Lou) will be playing a couple of songs and chatting with Jenny Lee Summers on the Music Show on BBC Radio Merseyside from 2.30pm on Tuesday 10th January.
Join Merry Hell with special guests Jimmy Rae and the Moonshine Girls on Friday the 13th January at the Music Room for much merriment, music, singing, laughter, and dancing! At a Merry Hell show there's always dancing!
PLEASE NOTE - this is a standing gig with only limited seating available in the bar area on a first come, first served basis.

More about Merry Hell
g with keyboard player, Lee Goulding and drummer Andy Jones, the addition of keys and vocalist, Virginia Kettle has helped create a new identity, purpose and spirit, in their music. She took little persuading to trade in her solo singer-songwriter past for a future in the band. Her prolific, ingenious and insightful song writing is one of the focal points of Merry Hell's recordings and live performances – her presence has perfectly complemented a group which has taken particular pride in penning originals.Emerging from the ashes of festival favourites, punk folk band Tansads, Merry Hell retains a nucleus of brothers John, Bob and Andrew Kettle (guitar, mandolin and vocals respectively), alon
Merry Hell have a growing fan base, great reviews for live shows, and their albums "Blink... and You'll Miss It", "Head Full of Magic, Shoes Full of Rain", plus previous offering "The Ghost In Our House and other Stories" received rave reviews in the music press, with all three getting five star reviews. The brand new album "Bloodlines" (released 1st November 2016) is chock full of more Merry Hell magic as they continue to win over fans old and new with their infectious brand of modern folk rock.

Note to editors
Liverpool Acoustic is the only website of its kind in the UK. It was created by Graham Holland in April 2008 as a central resource for the vibrant and exciting acoustic music scene in Liverpool and the Greater Merseyside area. It contains a diary of acoustic events including festivals, theatre concerts and folk clubs to showcases and open mic nights. The postings to the website (also available as a free email subscription) include news, previews for upcoming events, and reviews of music releases and gigs.
Liverpool Acoustic Live is a double award winning monthly acoustic music event run jointly by Graham Holland and local musician Stuart Todd, as a natural spin-off from the website. Each night features three or four of the best acoustic performers, singer-songwriters, bands and musicians on the local scene today performing alongside top-class national and international musicians.
Liverpool Acoustic Open Mic @ The Baltic Social is our weekly event featuring open mic with a selection of booked acts. Liverpool Acoustic eXtra, Liverpool Acoustic Presents, Liverpool Acoustic Garden, and Liverpool Acoustic Afternoon are occasional live music events, often run in collaboration with other local promoters and events.
