Liverpool Mental Health Festival - Opening Night

So, the festival is officially underway! And we kicked it off in fine style at Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room tonight.

We’d put together an amazing and diverse line-up of talent, thanks to all the partnerships we’ve had with other Liverpool festivals over this past year, and the audience were treated to music, dance, performance art, spoken word/poetry and comedy from:

Liverpool Comhaltas and the Bolger School of Irish Dancing
Kasai Masai
TranScripts Writers - Stephanie Gray, Garnett Frost and Mina Albanese
Barbara Brownskirt
Auntie Climax
Mica Millar
Bring the Fire Project
Nachda Sansaar

Compèred by David Hoyle.

What a great night it was!

As ever, when I take an abundance of photos it’s difficult to know which to Blip but here’s the lovely Brendan Curtis-Burton in character as Auntie Climax!
