Liverpool Acoustic is proud to present the amazing Jon Gomm in his first Liverpool concert for over four years. Leeds-base Jon is an acoustic singer-songwriter with an incredible virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and sparkling melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting however, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.

His live shows combine deeply personal performances and a natural wit, with a once-seen-never-forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar.

Support on the night is from St Helens’ finest percussive guitarist Mark Wilson, and young pianist Megan Thomas.

St Helens based singer songwriter Mark Wilson has astounded music lovers the world over with his unique blend of percussive acoustic blues and folk coupled with an extraordinary voice. Variously compared to Nick Drake, Merlin and a tornado tearing up the fretboard, Mark has performed more than 300 gigs, including twice at Glastonbury.

Megan Thomas is a genuine rising star. Last year she won her category in the prestigious Open Mic UK competition, and she has just won the Make It Break It under 19 national songwriting award which is co-sponsored by Lipa, Yamaha and EMI, and judged by Coldplay’s Chris Martin (a previous winner!), the head of EMI publishing, and the head of HMV. Have also just played live on BBC Lancashire through BBC Introducing.
