Liverpool Acoustic presents It Takes Two:
Merseyside's Best Vocal Duos
22 February 2020
For this very special show Liverpool Acoustic brings to the Music Room
four of the very best vocal duos performing in Merseyside today. Each
stunning duo will have their own set, and with the possibility of surprise
collaborations, this is an evening not to be missed.
It has been a while, but the multi-award-winning Welsh
comedian is back, with a brand-new live show. In a six-year
break from stand-up, a lot has happened to Rhod. Almost all of
it s**t. And just when he thought he’d hit rock bottom; he met a
bloke… called John.
This show sees Rhod as funny as ever, but like never before. Raw,
personal and brutally honest; no more lies, no more nonsense.

The Monkees and the Mersey rain - sometimes all in the same song!
‘The harmonies, of which Simon and Garfunkel would be proud, are
beautiful but with a generous sprinkle of Merseyside realism; the effect of
the combination is just something to behold.’ Ian D. Hall, Liverpool Sound
