4 Inverness acts will be travellling down to Liverpool to play at IPO 2012.
Following on from The Boosts appearance at the festival in 2011, they were invited to return this year which they were unable to accept. Paul Elliot (formerly of The Boosts) was however able to suggest a clutch of acts that were keen to show the Festival the best of what they have got. Subsequently the 20th and 21st of May will see The Whisky River Band, Megan Blyth, Jake Bolt and Barry Mackay play Liverpool’s Cavern Club and Cavern Pub.
Dave Bash, event promoter, said of the “Highland Invasion”:
“One of my favourite bands at last year’s International Pop Overthrow Festival in Liverpool was The Boosts, and I’m extremely glad that this year we’re going to have more fab artists from the Inverness/Highland area! I look forward to hearing Jake Bolt’s new project, the keen music and personal lyrics of Megan Blyth, the classic rock ‘n roll styling of Barry MacKay, and the eclectic, gusty sounds of The Whisky River Band. Talent from that area springs forth like a volcano, and we’re glad to have a few of the lava streams at this year’s IPO Liverpool!”
The schedule of their appearances (subject to change) are as follows:
The Whisky River Band – The Cavern Club, Sunday 20th of May @ 3.45pm / The Cavern Pub, Monday 21st of May @ 5.45pm
