The jewel of Sefton Park and an iconic Victorian Glasshouse, The Sefton Park Palm House will be host to Krewe Liverpool 2010 on February 7th 2020: a surreal masquerade ball with music, dance, costume and carnival, housed in Sefton Park’s magnificent building.
The experience is delighted to welcome Frog & Henry who play old dance music from New Orleans; party music from 100 years ago. Beginning as a street performing collective in 2013 on the streets of the Big Easy/Crescent City, the band is a truly international affair, with almost as many nationalities represented as members. The band boasts a reinvention of the worlds one and only unique foot operated Tuba Machine- which allows one person to play tuba and banjo simultaneously! See it played live at this surreal masquerade.
The organisers of the event are also proud to welcome a more familiar face, as our home-grown kaleidoscopic master of ceremonies; Laird Howard Ashley Storey – icon of the underbelly of Liverpool’s boho scene for a couple of decades and counting!
Also known as “Howard Be Thy name” this cannon ball kid is the former ring master from the depths of the Magnet’s burlesque subterranean circus, later Mellow Mello’s answer to the Fonz, and an ever-evolving Time Lord frolicking as Birdman, Magician or Wizard within the quantum leaps of The Kazimier.
Currently the face of Lush – and their finest Dandy, the voice of pirate radio IWFM, this candid character is the people’s man about town, daydreamer of the airwaves, and Godfather to all the freaks and uniques! If you don’t already know him, you are soon never to forget him!
Further guests to be announced.
Tickets for the event are available online, minimum age 18.
