Candlelight venues in Liverpool are giving the city’s live music scene a slightly different feel, without losing its down-to-earth charm. This season, Candlelight in Liverpool is popping up in places like St George’s Hall and Liverpool Town Hall, where grand columns, high ceilings and old-world details feel surprisingly cosy in the candlelight. Instead of huge arenas, you get tribute concerts and orchestral programmes in rooms that feel close-up and personal—one of the reasons why people keep coming back with friends.
