HOLLYOAKS actresses Claire Cooper and Zoe Lister have turned their hands to organising gigs with a new monthly night in Liverpool.
Claire, 28, and Zoe, 26, who play Jacqui McQueen and Zoe Carpenter in the Channel 4 soap, launched their Tarquin Won’t Jam night at Bumper on Hardman Street.
They are inviting bands from the north west to perform each month alongside a soundtrack of indie, rock, Motown, electro and soul.
The event was launched on Wednesday night.
It kicked off with performances from Cats In Paris, Lyons & Tigers, and Halagoogoo.
Claire said: “We just love music and we wanted to do something creative together. We were at the Leeds Festival in August and we got talking about starting a band night.
“We’ve put a lot of heart and soul into it. There was a real vibe. Everyone who was there said we could do with more nights like this.
“It’s a chance for the best up and coming local bands and artists to perform. We’re looking for bands to e-mail us if they are interested.
“The first night was heavy rock but each night will be diverse.”
The next Tarquin Won’t Jam event is on February 4, 2009. Tickets cost £4 in advance. See Tarquinwontjam.co.uk for more information.
