The fifth HOPE STREET FEAST will be held on Sunday 19th September 2010
The Hope Street Quarter will be closed to traffic and open to merriment from 5am until 8pm. As well as the huge Farmers’ Market running the length of Hope Street, and intermingled with stalls promoting Wealth and Hell Being (provided by the street theatre geniuses that are Hope Street Ltd) there will be musical performances including ~
* the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko
* the very wonderful voice of Najma Akhtar with Gary Lucas on guitar (yes, THE Gary Lucas of Beefheart’s Magic Band and of Jeff Buckley albums)
* Realword Records’ latest gem Syriana, including a live soundtrack to the films of Nico Piazza
* A sampler session for THE IRISH SEA SESSIONS which are convening later in the autumn, including Ian Prowse, Terry Coyne, Eimar McGowan
* John O’Connell
* Mike Neary
* Alex Berger
and plenty more yet to be announced.
- The Can’t Cook Domes, and the usual craft fair, will be at Blackburne House
- the Liverpool Philharmonic Open Day will include hands-on music making sessions in the Rodewald Suite — the LIPA stage will be at the top of Mount Street
- Roscoe Street will host a beer festival around the Roscoe Head pub
- there will be an art market on the Metropolitan Cathedral Piazza
- and there’ll be great food on offer throughout the site, from Hope Street’s many fine eateries and visiting stallholders, with dining areas on Mount Street, Falkner Street, Myrtle Street and close to the Everyman Bistro.
This is only a taste of what’s on the menu!
The full programme and timings will only be available on the day for £1 from stewards: please help support the event by buying a programme – everything else, apart from what you choose to eat and drink – is free.
