The first show of 2009 will also see the unveiling of Dave Mastrocola on bottom end duties. Dave, an Italian Londoner will be bringing much needed Latin blood to the Amsterdam stage and the rest of the gang can’t wait to welcome him on board.

Support on the night comes from The Prodigal Sons and the mighty Digsy and the Sums, a band Ian describes as ‘probably the best in Liverpool right now’.

Tickets for Liverpool are still available from ticketline.co.uk.
