A special radio broadcast celebrating Liverpool's thriving music scene is kicking off in the city centre this evening.
BBC Radio 1Xtra is hosting the special live show tonight, celebrating local talent while also getting to know more about the city’s unique and growing music scene. Birthplace of the legendary, history-making The Beatles, Liverpool's influence and impact on the music industry is still felt to this day.
The city's music scene continues to thrive, with hit-makers Red Rum Club, Jamie Webster, Nikki and the Waves gaining recent traction and acclaim, while established acts like The Coral still draw a crowd of excited fans. Liverpool has no shortage of homegrown talent, and BBC Radio 1Xtra's DJ Target will tonight broadcast his entire show live from Liverpool, in celebration of this.
