The Royal Albert Dock - Liverpool River Festival  / Aerial Perspectives / Events

In 2019 I was unable to depict all of the events at Liverpool’s River Festival, due to health reasons.

Subject matters photographed included Indian cultural Dance and Music, Irish Sea Shanty’s being sung from a ship,

as well as other aspects of song, dance and Street Theatre.

The House of Suarez – HMS Suarez

The House of Suarez returned to the Docks of Liverpool and brought their brand new premier! HMS Suarez.

This piece took tourists on a journey through the decades and the times of music whilst the docks thrived and witnessed generations of sailors from across the seas.
