The Northern Powerhouse books Country acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Birkenhead venue directory.
The Northern Powerhouse is a grassroots live-music venue in Birkenhead on the Wirral, converted from a former welders' yard. It gives a platform to both new and emerging acts and the area's established, most respected musicians, putting on monthly shows across rock, indie, country, folk and Americana with the aim of putting Birkenhead on the map for the right reasons. The website_url originally pointed at a Westminster policy group ('northernpowerhouseappg.org.uk') — that is unrelated; the real venue is on Taylor Street, Birkenhead (CH41 1BQ).
