Liverpool Philharmonic Hall presents an exciting array of new music, film and comedy events for January – April 2010.

2010 is set to have something for everyone: Jamie Cullum, Editors, the founder of The Specials, Jerry Dammers, to Singin’ In The Rain star Debbie Reynolds, Rhod Gilbert and the legendary Three B’s... not forgetting to mention Ricky Hatton in the ring with Frank Bruno and a special visit from National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain with Vasily Petrenko at the helm.

2010 brings a welcomed return of the annual African Soul Rebels tour featuring the exquisite voice of Oumou Sangare heralded by The Observer as ‘A majestic mistress of many moods’, as well as a festival of folk, all in one night, with the highly awaited return of The Imagined Village featuring Grammy Award winning musician and producer Simon Emmerson, members of Transglobal Underground, live electronic band The Bays, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy and Chris Wood with many, many more.

Exciting programming in the new year allows us to present a fine host of critically acclaimed stars including Australian acoustic guitarist and two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel, one of Britain's best female artists and three times Grammy-nominated blues legend Joan Armatrading, The 'Dream Team' of trad jazz; Kenny Ball, Chris Barber and Acker Bilk making up the Three B’s, as well as founder of The Specials and the 2 Tone Record label, Jerry Dammers, who performs with his 18-piece orchestra in a show of high fusion, costumes, theatrics and visuals mix.

Michael Eakin, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic's Chief Executive said: "Our programme for the new year is fantastic.

"The range of events and the quality of artists we have put together is exceptional. It demonstrates our commitment to live music in the city.

"As winner of The Mersey Partnership's Tourism Award for 'Best Venue of 2009', we’re determined to bring the best music to Liverpool and offer our visitors an unrivalled experience."

Throughout the period there are some real award-winning gems in the Rodewald Suite including Mercury Prize nominees Led Bib, Moishe’s Bagel and Miles Hunt with Erica Nockalls, and some great comedy from Stephen K Amos and the phenomenon that is Rhod Gilbert.

The entertainment continues with great concerts from Paul Carrack, Chris Rea, Peter Andre and Anton Du Beke & Erin Boag, in addition to an exceptional classical programme from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
