Liverpool Music Week 2006

Now in its fourth year, Liverpool Music Week has grown from a single venue project into a burgeoning new UK music event. This year there are almost 200 acts playing 39 shows across 16 of Liverpool’s music venues, with an anticipated record crowd of 26,000 music lovers, incorporating extra venues such as the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool University and the Carling Academy.

The majority of the festival is dominated by a diverse local music scene, with many home-grown headliners such as Hot Club De Paris and 747s, Tramp Attack, and 28 Costumes.

Headliners include Shack, Liam Frost & the Slowdown Family, Son of Dave, The Longcut, Bromheads Jacket and ex-Beta Band – The Aliens, as well as Radio One DJ Gilles Peterson presenting the 43 piece Heritage Orchestra, and Seu Jorge & AfroReggae too. For the full line-up, see below:
