Featuring Phosphorescent – the nom de plume of Alabaman Matthew Houck – and Philadelphian-via-Manchester BC Camplight, In Good Company is a new event taking place at Liverpool’s Grand Central Hall.

Phosphorescent, who is backed by a full band when playing live, specialises in the type of off-beat country music that fans of Willie Nelson will love, while BC Camplight and his band perform theatrical, piano-led country rock.

With more acts still to be announced, this is a bona fide date for the diary.
