Ahead of its Liverpool opening next weekend, the owners of Neighbourhood bar and restaurant have launched a music agency.

East Coast Concepts will employ a roster of 10 musical acts who will perform across both Neighbourhood venues in Manchester and Liverpool along with openings going forward in other cities.

Neighbourhood Brand Director Ashley Williams said: “We have a real focus on live music, and we’re looking to develop fresh talent to join our team and service our venues across the North West. Our search began last week in Liverpool with open auditions and we were really pleased with the initial response. We found some exceptional talent and this is something we look forward to developing further.

“Liverpool will be our new flagship site, and we’ll be doing things that we don’t in other venues. The city is well known for producing some of the finest musical talent and we wanted to respect this.” 

The group has also announced  DJ, record producer, remixer and radio presenter Anton Powers (right) will join the team in Liverpool. A member of UK-based production team Cahill, he is best known for his number #1 collaboration with Philip George, Alone No More. Anton will provide the soundtrack to the venue when it opens its doors November 7 and will hold a residency at the venue every Saturday from 10-2am.

Neighbourhood restaurant and bar will open to the public on Castle St November 7.

The team is looking for fresh musical talent to join its agency. For further information contact: Ashley@neighbourhoodrestaurant.co.uk
