The City Of Liverpool Made My Dreams Come True!!

Live Events At Liverpool Echo Arena Kings Dock Liverpool 

 

The Liverpool Arena has held many fantastic events in the City since its opening in 2008,

Liverpool’s year as  European Capital Of Culture!

 

I have had the privilege of gaining a press pass,

which enabled me to gain access to take photographs at the front of the stage a.k.a. “the pit”.

I want to raise as much awareness as possible for Blood Cancer Uk , by tagging @BloodCancer_uk with high profile events which will increase awareness for the Charity.

I am extremely grateful for permission given to me, allowing me to photograph these events.

As with all my photographs My chaperone helps me set up my equipment on each of these occasions,

looks after me and  driving to the destination of the event.

A live tour, based on the album, began in the UK and Ireland in April 2006.
Jeff Wayne returned to conduct the 48-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings and 10-piece Black Smoke Band.
A "virtual" Richard Burton (a large 
bust of the Journalist onto which was projected an image of a young Burton with a super-imposed actor's mouth and jaw lip synched to the original Burton recordings) performed as The Journalist.
















Justin Hayward (pictured below right) reprised his original role as The Sung Thoughts of the Journalist and Chris Thompson returned as The Voice Of Humanity.
Also from the original recording were Chris Spedding playing lead guitar and Herbie Flowers on bass guitar
