The celestial heavens opened above the U.K. and the thought of the majesty and awe of space was offered to all below, the dance between Sun and the Moon a peek at what made our ancestors shudder with fascination and perhaps fear but in the skies above a 21st Century Earth. As eclipses go, certainly over Liverpool, it wasn’t the most auspicious of moments, but that did not stop one star shining brighter and with greater meaning attached at this year’s Liverpool Acoustic Festival at the Unity Theatre.

One of the great finds on the Liverpool acoustic circuit in recent years is arguably Shannen Bamford. A voice that resonates like an angel tempting the music lover with a shot of adrenaline and comforting words when all around is filled with sorrow and pockets of despair.

Even though Ms. Bamford has other commitments that keep her disappointingly away from the venues on a full time basis, both for her and for the legion of fans that she has built up in Liverpool, when she comes on stage the realisation of just what she brings to the acoustic table is enough to stir the music passion once more.
