Liverpool Comes Together for a Night of Peace and Love

A Night of Peace and Love at the Tung Auditorium


Last night's "Give Peace a Chance" concert at the Tung Auditorium, also known as the Yoko Ono Lennon Theatre, was a truly special event, and I'm still feeling the love and joy that filled the room. This concert was inspired by the Peace Wall at the Liverpool Beatles Museum, and it's a testament to how the message of peace, which John Lennon and Yoko Ono championed, continues to resonate through music and art.

We had a full house, and I was just blown away by the sheer star quality of all fifteen acts. It was an unbelievable evening, and I couldn't be more grateful. We had some incredible talent on stage, including the legendary Billy J. Kramer who topped the bill, the soulful Joe Speare, the amazing Sophie Clarke, and the phenomenal Arabella Dance Academy. The whole show was seamlessly hosted by the wonderful Debi Jones.


I want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to every single person who made this event a reality. To all the performers who shared their incredible talent, to our audience who filled the theatre with such warmth, and to the tireless Liverpool Heartbeat volunteers. A special thank you also goes to Nicky Broadley for organizing the entire show.

As I look back on the night, all I can really say is, "Give Peace a Chance."
