About Mellowtone
“rigidly adhering to a high level of quality control” The Fly
Regular evenings of live music and DJs in a variety of the most intimate venues across and around Liverpool. You can find rootsy country blues on the same bill as intricate and delicate folk, or perhaps a band playing an stripped down set – it’s a laid back affair, and though we’re predominately acoustic in outlook, our focus is on showcasing the best music around. We’re also quite partial to plugging things in, and between the live music our resident DJs, Richie Vegas and Jonnie O’Hare – Beaten Tracks – spin a laid back selection of grooves spanning funk, soul, blues, jazz, afrobeat, hiphop, reggae and anything else they fancy. Our resident compere – Monkey – takes care of the introductions.
The spiritual home of Mellowtone is the View Two gallery, the intimate artspace perched high above Mathew Street, but we often gather at different locations around the city.
From delivering the very best acts from the city’s thriving music scene to our ever expanding band of faithful followers as well as bringing performers from further afield for our pleasure and yours, Mellowtone’s dreamers and schemers are on a nomadic quest to spread good times through intimate soirees with a heartbeat of live acoustic music.
