RocknRoll Marathon Liverpool 2021 Gig

Last Sunday,

an early start. 9am performance for RocknRoll Marathon in Liverpool.

40mins of upbeat covers with my acoustic guitar ready to serenade the dedicated runners as they headed back into the City Centre from the prom.

Great gig, loved every minute of it from preparing the set list, playing on a Stage Bus and singing along with the sound crew and runners. It made getting up in the dark for a gig kind of ok…

There’s nothing quite like live music and there’s nothing quite like watching tired people perk up and start singing when they recognise a tune.

Well done runners and team!

Rock n Roll Marathon. Stage X.

I’ve found it.  My new passion.

Yes, yes playing for tired people while they’re running..(the power of music and motivation)….

On Sunday 26th May I had been asked to perform a covers set of 90mins playing to the runners (of Rock n Roll Marathon Liverpool) as they passed by through Liverpool City centre.  I got to perform the fab Stage X which was a Stage Bus (a converted double decker bus) that caught runners just coming in from their 4mile windy, rainy stint down the prom.

I had some good fun choosing a set list for this.  With the job of motivating people when they’re tired, making them smile and hopefully join in singing…, I DID play Eye of the Tiger and yes, people sang along…more please!

When the Event Manager, the Sound Engineers (and the sound) and the nearby deli/eatery (thank you Delifonseca Dockside!) were all amazing to deal with, I consider it a great gig 🙂

I hope to see you next year!
