Canned Panther artists to perform at the Number One Project, Liverpool Echo Arena

On Saturday 19th January 08, Canned Panther artists will perform at the Liverpool Echo Arena. This is only the third event ever to be held at the infamous new venue and 10,600 people will watch the performance.

Quality performances from:

Phil Jones:
Popular Liverpool musician Phil Jones has been around the block a bit! You will know him from such bands as WC Wardrobe's Swinging Clit (1977). Skyfall (1977), Next (1978, and signed to CBS), and Afraid Of Mice (1979-86, signed to Charisma). After twenty years Phil is highly noted for his one-man show. He intertwines a warm wit and wicked sense of humour with his endless repertoire of original songs. He's also been a window dresser, and a telephonist, but his roots are with music. So, from performing in punk bands whilst he was still at school, to appearing on the David Essex show, and to the maturity we see in his musicianship today, Phil Jones is a real delight!

Paul Kappa
'There's nothing else like him in Liverpool.' After seeing Paul Kappa, that's what everyone says! The guitar virtuoso and singer/songwriter plays his heart and soul out in Liverpool and has performed all around the world. He's been a regualr at festivals such as Glastonbury, won the 'Liverpool Echo Arts Award' with his band Cat Scratch Fever, and has gone on to be renowned for his solo work. Hee's known as one of Liverpool's hardest working unsung heroes.

Jack Roberts
Jack Roberts writes songs, performs them, records them, is an animator, an artist, and a general genius! He's performed at Glastonbury and is well known in Liverpool for his time in the band 'The Bingo Brothers.' Achievements include an album through Sony, and his infamous 'Heart Attack' song on a Ricky Haton video. He's a massive favourite in Liverpool and has a strong cult following. Noted for his stage persona and and the contradiction of wit and pain in his lyrics, Jack Roberts is a true story teller you don't want to miss.

Nouveau Django & Christina Malley
Formed in January '07 in the depths of a Liverpool winter, Nouveau Django was borne out of necessity. Where else will you here true rhythm and blues? This band is different from your average guitar band - throw a fiddle into the mix, and you're getting closer to the picture! The band has played festivals all around the country and other claims to fame include violinist Hayden's performance on the soundtrack for the Guy Ritchie film, 'Snatch.' Now, band members Hayden John and Micky Dunne team up with Barfly's Rock Star Wars champion, Christina Malley, to perform at The Number One Project. Simply unforgettable!
