 For Folk’s Sake, Manchester based providers of folk and roots evenings, are branching out, with a first show in Liverpool, this coming Friday.
Mikey Kenney aka Ottersgear has performed at two of the Manchester nights and feels that the format will transfer well to Merseyside.
‘I’ve really enjoyed performing at For Folk’s Sake in Manchester and feel it showcases a real high calibre of traditional and acoustic artists,’ he explained.
‘Sometimes city centres miss out on this kind of music in such an intimate environment, so I approached Sophie [Parkes], the promoter of For Folk’s Sake, and asked if she would mind whether I started a similar night in Liverpool under the same umbrella.’
Parkes was enthusiastic about the idea. ‘I am honoured that Mikey has decided to take FFS to Liverpool and I will support him in any way I can,' she said. 'I am sure Liverpool audiences will be as receptive as they are here in Manchester.'
For Folk’s Sake launches in Liverpool on Friday 12th February at the Leaf Tea Shop and Bar. It will feature performances from The Existence Of Harvey Lord, Eliza And The Bear, Harp And A Monkey and Lewis Mason.
