Must See:
Sophia Ben-Yousef: One of Liverpool's quickest rising talents, Sophia has a distinctive mature sound that far surpasses the level of aptitude you could expect from a young star. Drawing on influences including Emeli Sandé and Alicia Keys, her self-written lyrics are draped in emotion and told with a striking, soulful sentiment.
Thomas J Speight: Having been on the same bill as Ed Sheeran, Jake Bugg and Mumford & Sons, supported Travis and shared a label with Noah and The Whale, Thomas has already introduced himself to the folk pop audience. With a rich and adhering voice he's set to establish himself among those heavyweights with his forthcoming debut album.
Liverpool Acoustic Festival is an audacious attempt to highlight a naturally shy scene, whilst it may not go down a storm, it will transform The Unity Theatre into a music haven.
