Support from Rich Man’s Ruin
Leon Rosselson brings his one man show to Liverpool for the first time in one of the most eagerly anticipated folk concerts of the year.
My Life As A Songwriter (or How I Failed To Become Rich And Famous) is a hop, skip and a jump through five decades of songwriting, from That Was The Week That Was and the satire boom of the sparky sixties to the curdled present, evoking the spirit of the times through song and story: songs ranging from the lyrical to the satirical, from the personal to the political, from the humorous to the poignant.
‘…a unique songwriter. I do not think there is anyone in the English speaking world to touch him.’ (Folk Roots)
‘Possibly the world’s most accomplished mischief maker’ (The Telegraph)
Support on the night is provided by Rich Man’s Ruin, Liverpool’s most exciting new folk group. Gabi Monk, Alun Parry, and Vinny T Spen combine three voices with guitar, banjolele, autoharp and harmonica in an exciting blend of modern and traditional folk music to get your feet stomping and your heart stirred.
Fees : £9 (£7 concessions)
Event Categories: Events and Working Class Life & Music Festival.
