Eclectic Liverpool folk ensemble Only Child have joined forces with the Liverpool Irish Festival to present a night of emotional music in one of the city’s most atmospheric venues on Friday October 27th.

Only Child will be joined by a string quartet for this one-off celebration and singer/songwriter Alan O’Hare can’t wait: “It’s five years since our friends at Mellowtone put on the first Only Child gig at Leaf on Bold Street,” he said. “Our debut EP was launched that night and the songs from it were accompanied by a fantastic string section. It’s a sound that has never truly left us, and though we have dabbled with the strings once or twice since, this will be the first time the full band will be accompanied by a quartet in five years. It’s going to be great.”
