A Full Day of Music for a Great Cause This Sunday, 1st November, the Taylor Street Tavern in Birkenhead is hosting an All‑Dayer Open Mic in support of the Poppy Appeal — a brilliant chance for local musicians to come together and raise funds for a cause that means a great deal to so many people.
The music runs from midday right through to 8pm, with performers from across Wirral and Merseyside stepping up to share three songs each. It’s a simple format, but that’s part of the charm: a full day of grassroots talent, good company, and community spirit.
Pippa and I are honoured to be closing the event, playing our three‑song set from 7.45pm to 8pm. It’s only a short slot, but we’re genuinely proud to be part of something that brings people together and supports such an important charity. Sometimes it’s not about the length of the set — it’s about showing up, contributing, and celebrating the power of music to do some good.
If you’re free on Sunday, drop in at any point during the day. Stay for an hour, stay for the whole thing — every bit of support helps, and you’ll hear some wonderful local performers along the way.
A lovely event, a worthy cause, and a community that always shows up. Hope to see you there.
