Winner of this year’s Merseyrail Sound Station competition, Kingfast will perform a set of the unique, soulful pop – inspired by acts as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Bastille and Beyonce, which so impressed the judges at the Merseyrail Sound Station final held at Liverpool Central Station in early November.

Alongside the Soundstation artists, choral a cappella group Amici Cantores will perform pieces from across the centuries and genres, from Morley and Bennet to Mendelssohnn and Vaughan-Williams and also living composers.
A group from Liverpool Walton Salvation Army Band will also be performing, playing a selection of festive songs and Christmas carols including all of the traditional favourites. An arrangement of the Ukranian Carol of the Bells will be included which has been especially arranged by the group’s former Bandmaster. They’ll even be taking requests!
