Description
"Welcome to Mellowtone. A laid back odyssey. A platter of live acoustic and roots music served with the finest funk, soul, blues, jazz, hip hop and reggae, from our resident DJs.
You can find rootsy country blues on the same bill as intricate and delicate folk, or perhaps a band playing an stripped down set - it’s a laid back affair, and though we’re predominately acoustic in outlook, our focus is on showcasing the best live music around.
We’re also quite partial to plugging things in, and between the live music our resident DJs, Richie Vegas and Jonnie O'Hare - Beaten Tracks - spin a laid back selection of grooves spanning funk, soul, blues, jazz, afrobeat, hiphop, reggae and anything else they fancy. Everything from the obvious to the obscure. Our resident compere – Monkey – takes care of the introductions, and also spins a tune or 2.
The spiritual home of Mellowtone is the View Two Gallery, the intimate artspace perched high above Mathew Street, but we’re nomadic by nature. Over the years Mellowtone has been found in well over twenty venues across Liverpool, we are currently putting on shows at Leaf, the Shipping Forecast, The Kazimier and the Bluecoat. We also squeeze in link-ups when we can with some of the party people we encounter, and every now and again we do our bit and throw a party for charity.
Mellowtone’s dreamers and schemers are on a nomadic quest to spread good times through intimate soirees with a heartbeat of live acoustic music… we’ll continue to quietly create a stir. Peace x"
