Musician 'feels at home' in Liverpool as city opens arms to her

Crawlers

A musician has been made to “feel at home” in Liverpool after Scousers accepted her for who she is.

Abi Rose Kelly, originally from Yorkshire, moved to the city centre four years ago securing a place at Hope University. The 21-year-old artist decided to stay after she was made to feel she could be her true self - a queer woman.

She told the ECHO: “Liverpool is just a city that is bustling with so much atmosphere and energy anyway and I find it is very accepting. I’ve never met a Scouser who doesn’t love being a Scouser and I’ve never met a Scouser who has turned up their nose at me for being who I am.
