Rooted in soul, jazz and rhythm &amp; blues, Black musicians in Liverpool 8 helped shape the city’s sound — mentoring early Beatles members and introducing American influences that would transform British music forever. Despite facing racial inequalities and barriers to recognition, their legacy is profound, influential, and long overdue for celebration.What’s on:Live DJ sets in the café from Kerri Ankrah-Lucas (Decks in the City), plus a record fair to dig for vinyl treasuresRamon “Sugar” Deen, L8 music legend and member of The Harlems, sharing first-hand stories from the eraA rare chance to work with the Institute of Popular Music (IPM) — explore archive vinyl and help catalogue recordsA talk from Dr Mike Brocken on jazz pioneer Gordon Stretton for International Jazz DayMusic performed from across eras and genres with University music studentsWhether you're into music history, vinyl culture, live performance, or just looking for something different to do in the evening, VG&amp;M L8 is your chance to experience the gallery in a whole new way.Free, drop in, and open to all — especially students and young people.Come for the music, stay for the stories.The Evening’s Schedule5-8pm: Waterhouse Café open5-8pm: Record Fair5-6pm: DJ Set - Decks in the City with Kerri Ankrah-Lucas5-6pm: Pop Up CataloguingExplore archive vinyl and help catalogue records.
