Live Events In Liverpool And In And
Around Merseyside
In 2009 I got the opportunity to photograph The Spring Ball in St George’s Hall.
I was kindly given permission to photograph this event by people involved
organizing Liverpool events.
I raised more awareness for @Bloodcancer_uk as I am able to tag Blood Cancer UK
with a variety of popular subject matters on social media.
Liverpool’s St
George’s Hall is a very popular venue and the
Spring Ball is an annual event.
Well known guests were present at the event included
Herbert Howe of Liverpool, hairdresser and TV personality.
Liverpool singer Connie Lush

Camilla Dallerup.
The picture above was taken in the Concert Room at
St George’s Hall.
Connie Lush
Connie Lush has been recognised as one of the finest Blues
singers in the Uk today.
The winner of “Best Female Vocalist Uk” no less than five times has earned
Connie her place in the Gallery of Greats, alongside Alexis Corner and Eric
Clapton to name just two.
Her incredible stage presence and powerful vocal have also been recognized
overseas as she was twice voted “European Blues Vocalist of the year” by the
“Blues Trophies Awards” Pride of place is her award from the people of Liverpool
for “Performing Arts”….and is still being nominated.
Connie grew up in Liverpool and was singing in her church and school choirs from
the age of 5 yrs.
Singing was never a career option, nor did Connie wish to until she met and
married Bass Player Terry Harris who persuaded Connie to step on stage. Since
that first night, Connie decided she never wanted to leave.Together
they have shared that stage since.Connie
burst onto the blues scene making her debut at the “Great British R&B Festival
at Colne and never looked back.
I actually spoke to Connie, who was a pleasure to meet.
Connie
has since “liked” my work on social media,
which is fantastic awareness for @bloodcancer_uk

also renowned for his unbelievable charity work.
I had the pleasure of meeting Herbert Howe on the night of the spring
ball

I have always wanted to put Liverpool on the map,

Ian And Camillia was a fantastic experience.
I met Camillia in the corridor of The Grand Hall, we chatted about different
dance styles and of course I asked her about her routine that won Strictly in
2008 with Tom Chambers, it was an absolute pleasure to speak to her.
Camillia is not only a fantastic dancer, but a very nice person that made the
effort to speak to me, making me feel "part of it all".
It was a very specail evening
All guests and organisers were very good to me on the night
