To launch this year’s Eclectica Music Festival, the St.Helens Musicians Collective is hosting a very special FREE event at The Citadel. Yes, that's FREE!

The line-up will definitely have you dancin’, singin' and drinkin' the night away with St.Helens’ favourite bearded band The Loungs, much-loved indie boys The Monte Cristo Blondes and folksters The Prelude. All three bands are playing a whole host of gigs and festivals throughout the summer but this promises to be a fantastic Collective style start to the Eclectica event.

Eclectica is sponsored by James Edwards Land Rover (St.Helens). CALM, Love Music Hate Racism, The Citadel Arts Centre and Liverpool 08 are event partners.
