The aim of St. Helens LIVE 08 is to ensure there is sure something for all tastes and ages throughout the year from classical to folk and swing to musical theatre.

Different genres

Each month, a different genre will be showcased featuring not only widely known national acts, but also some of the finest musical talent that St. Helens has to offer, all exclusively within the historic venue of St. Helens Town Hall.

On 22nd November the Town Hall will host a gala concert by Black Dyke in what promises to be one of the cultural highlights of the whole year.

Exciting programme

Cllr Wally Ashcroft, Executive Member for Culture, Heritage and Sport, told 4BR: "We have lined up an exciting musical programme to appeal to all kinds of tastes and hope that local people will take this opportunity to enjoy quality live performances on their doorstep."
