Bido Lito!

Liverpool Acoustic Live returns to the View Two Gallery for a feast of fantastic folk rock from London-based Galley Beggar, ably supported by Mark Byrne, Atlas Twins, and Laura&Claire.

Galley Beggar 
http://www.galleybeggar.com/

Taking inspiration from the likes of Fairport Convention, Pentangle and Led Zeppelin’s acoustic explorations, London-based Galley Beggar’s music sets out to imagine the next phase of English Folk Rock. Their live performances bring the intensity of a rock band to electric folk and include plenty of instrument changes as they move from music found within the collections of Cecil Sharp and Francis Child through to electrified psychedelic freakouts. Harmony vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, violin, recorder, bass and drums make up the sound of Galley Beggar.
