Strike a chord! Apply to play at Tickle the Ivories Street Piano Busking Festival this summer.
The street piano festival that hits all the right notes, Tickle The Ivories, is back in Liverpool ONE and the event is on the hunt for Liverpool’s most entertaining pianists and performers.
From singer-songwriters, and concert pianists to the occasional ivory tickler or full-scale dance troupe, you can showcase your musical talent in front of the Liverpool ONE crowds. You never know who might be passing by while you’re performing!
Tickle The Ivories is the perfect platform for you to:
- Try out & show off your piano skills as a solo performer, a band, theatre act, dance group, choir and more!
- Showcase your new music.
- Busk or raise money for a charity/organisation.
You can pre-book slots to guarantee your performance times and ensure a piano is all yours! Pre-booking also guarantees promotion on the Liverpool ONE website and their rather large social channels. You just need to ensure you play one the pianos as part of your performance.
Tickle The Ivories has enticed many hidden musicians out of the woodwork over the past 12 years, providing access to this wonderful musical instrument and giving musicians the opportunity to share their creativity by performing in public.
The festival sparks conversation and changes the dynamics of a space, filling the streets with delightful melodies and allowing the public to express themselves. So come and join us to be part of this special annual festival, so beloved by Scousers and the thousands of city visitors.
