Maiden City Festival Weblog

Tonight’s Imperial Corps of Drums ‘Tribute to Liverpool’ followed by THEM BEATLES is sold out. Ticket only.

If you are too late and still want to hear the Imperial Corps of Drums you are able to do that by connecting just before 8pm to the Apprentice Boys website and navigating to www2.apprenticeboys.co.uk/features/webcast

So if you have forgetten to get your ticket early, at least you have an alternative.

For all those who were unable to join us at the Maiden City Festival in person for whatever reason, we hope our webcasts have been welcome and any feedback on reception would be appreciated. We would like to expand this in the future, so comment is beneficial in our first foray into this field.

The Maiden City Festival is webcasting LIVE!!

As usual, the way funding works, it is uphill from April until now just getting the applications and questionnaires and paperwork sorted. Then there is the programme to build based on success or otherwise.

At this point we are pleased to say we have a full programme, and just still waiting on some final news that will enable us to announce the full programme early next week. 

In the meantime we are able to confirm that we are building on our living history presentations around the walls. Not only do we once again have The Siege Story in St Columbs Cathedral, we also have a new series of Siege Tales from seven characters around the Walls.  Our hugely successful lunchtime Culture Bite menu of lunchtime perfomances from singer/songwriters and solo/duo artists is expanding to three new venues.  There are lots of last year’s performances on our Maiden City Festival YouTube Channel.

Enjoy a lunchtime Culture Bite at venues within and around the historic Walls.

Our Line Dance Extravaganza looks on its way to be another extraordinary success on the opening Saturday night.  Also on the Saturday night, following an afternoon of Bluegrass around the Walls, we have an all female concert lineup of Bluegrass inspired performances in The Junction on Bishop Street.

Thursday night is band night, with the Imperial Corps of Drums from Liverpool bringing the Mersey to the Foyle, and Them Beatles finishing a night of tribute to the sounds of Liverpool.   

There is lot more, but we have to wait another day or so to complete the programme. So for full details, watch this blog or follow us on Facebook.  If you can’t wait go to www.maidencityfestival.com and connect to lots of our micro sites and webspaces created from previous events.
