LIMF Living Room Sessions
They say music is good for the heart and the soul and we couldn’t agree more! That’s why Liverpool International Music Festival is introducing its LIMF Academy Living Room Sessions.
Throughout April, seven of our super talented Academy alumni performed their songs live, bringing music directly to people’s homes.
LIMF Academy Lockdown Collabo Series
Launched on Tuesday 14 April, LIMF Academy Lockdown Collabo Series will see collaborations between two Academy artists (past and present). The artists have been challenged to make, mix and release a track using the wonderful world of the web over a 48 hour period. Keep an eye on the LIMF Academy Instagram page to follow this amazing journey of music experimentation.
Keep up to date with all collaborations here.
LIMF Playlists
Music is in our DNA in Liverpool – from celebrating our triumphs on the world stage to intimate underground acoustic sets – no matter what you’re into, music is the beat of our city’s rhythm. During this difficult time, our partners at Greenhouse have put together a series of playlists featuring our very own Liverpool International Music Festival artists. Check out their playlists on the LIMF Facebook and Twitter accounts and watch this space for news on live performances.

In April, we joined forces with Bido Lito! to do a series of livestream bedroom gigs called Friday Night Live.
The sessions, which were originally streamed live on the Culture Liverpool Facebook page, are all available to watch back here.

Melodic Distraction
The Baltic Triangle-based internet radio station has wasted no time in setting its hosts up to broadcast from their homes, in a period of frenzied activity. The result is a packed schedule broadcasting 6 days a week, with shows covering all kinds of genres and even more planned.

Threshold Festival
Sadly the 10th and final edition of Threshold Festival won’t be taking place as planned, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of its organisers. The team hosted an e-festival on Saturday 4 April, featuring live-streamed performances, highlights from the last decade, a chat with the Threshold team and an online gallery of visual art from artists who were due to exhibit at the festival.
