Little Richard: Send Me Some Lovin’ by Spencer Leigh-Book launch event
Little Richard said he invented rock ’n’ roll! You could argue that the world would have been very different without ‘Tutti Frutti’, two minutes of wild exhibitionism, recorded in 1955 transforming American music and culture. Little Richard is about an influential and charismatic man, who broke boundaries, shocked and surprised us and who lived his...
Santa and The Snowman
We’re walking in the air… It isn’t Christmas until a little boy has built a new friend in a snowy garden, the Northern Lights are flickering in the sky, and The Snowman has whisked us off into the frosty night. If you didn’t think the classic film could get any more enchanting, you’re in for...
The Nutcracker: Reimagined
A Christmas party, an unexpected gift and a kingdom full of sweets… everyone knows the story of The Nutcracker. Pianist Alexandra Dariescu and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Brass and Percussion Ensemble each perform different parts of Tchaikovsky’s wonderful music. Joined by a narrator and twoballet dancers, they all come together to retell this seasonal classic...
Messiah
Hallelujah! When King George II first heard the most famous bit of Handel’s Messiah, he leapt to his feet in excitement. You don’t have to do that, but tunes like Ev’ry Valley, The Trumpet Shall Sound, and For Unto us a Child is Born are as much part of the season as mulled wine and...

They say diamonds are forever,...

The Unthanks in Winter
At this point in their almost 20 years together, it’s easy to imagine that The Unthanks must surely have done a seasonal winter album already, but no! Known for their genre-blurring creativity, The Unthanks premiere their dream-like winter fantasia – embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic of seasons – moving...
