Comedian Bill Bailey provides a guide to the orchestra at the Liverpool Philharmonic

Nov 19 2009 Flintshire Chronicle

FOLLOWING on from last year’s sell-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall and the critically acclaimed version on BBC2, Bill Bailey’s surreal comic and musical imagination is let loose as he performs with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, accompanied by Anne Dudley, one of the UK’s most celebrated composers and arrangers.

A classically trained musician, Bill has for many years covered all kinds of music in his comedy and this show takes the form of an irreverent guide to the instruments of the orchestra, plus 70s cop show music, news themes, Bill’s own songs, and some of Anne’s specially written new works.

In this unique show, Bill offers the insight to all things musical, from hearing about the trombone’s affection for Cockney music, to finding out what bassoon players are secretly obsessed with.

The show takes place at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on Monday, at 8pm

Tickets are priced £25, £40, £55 and £60. Call the box office on 0151 709 3789 or order online at www.liverpoolphil.com.
