Liverpool Music Week – 20 Years of Bella Union

by John W. King | 30 Oct 2017 | Festivals

For an independent label, Bella Union has punched well above it’s weight, boasting artists such as Flaming Lips, John Grant, Lanterns on the Lake, Fleet Foxes, Emmy the Great, Howling Bells and Mercury Rev to scratch but the surface. Would tonight’s lineup, headlined by Simon Raymonde’s Lost Horizons do it justice?
