Ste says... ''After setting up the croxteth hall music festival in June and getting great feedback and support from the city I wanted to carry on setting up more unique shows with my band and with the Mathew st Festival coming up at the end of August thought this was a perfect opportunity to put on one of the most original stages in town. I put the Idea to Gordon Ross who is organizing the Fringe festival which runs alongside the Mathew st festival to and told him about my plans to showcase some of the hottest bands in Liverpool on the Helideck of The Planet Boat. I promised to make this platform the most exciting stage in town and give this city a taste of real rock and roll. The stage will be showcasing many different styles of music and we will be making a short movie with band in a box TV to raise awareness for The Planet Boat as we aim to make it one of Liverpools most attractive music venues in the country.
