Danny Beard at Future Yard

I’ve photographed Danny Beard a couple of times at events with National Museums Liverpool, but until the ‘Dragged across the Mersey’ gig I hadn’t seen their main drag act. It was hilarious. Local jokes for local people along with lots of music I did not know the words to. If you get the chance, go see their show.
