Blow the Roof Off!
2026-07-08 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | St James’ Church, 4 Albion St, , New Brighton, Wallasey, CH45 9LF
Blow the Roof Off! is exactly what it sounds like. Six whole-class workshops in Wallasey schools — delivered in partnership with the Love Music Trust — have put brass instruments into the hands of young people for the very first time. The result is a high-energy concert at the Floral Pavilion Blue Room that’s part celebration, part spectacle and entirely joyful.
Headlining the night is Backchat Brass, bringing the kind of explosive, feel-good brass band energy that fills a room and has everyone on their feet. This is a concert that rewards both the performers who’ve worked for it and the audience lucky enough to be there.

Poet and storyteller Joseph Roberts has spent weeks in local schools running workshops that help young people find their voice — through poetry, spoken word and storytelling. The live performance at District House is where all of that work comes together, as students step up and share their own original writing with an audience for the first time.
It’s intimate, it’s brave and it’s often extraordinary. Spoken word performed by young people who’ve genuinely got something to say has a way of cutting through in a way that polished, professional performance rarely does. Come prepared to be moved, surprised and inspired.
