A collaboration with promoter Bill Elms, of Bill Elms Associates, it is also being performed as part of the Wirral International Guitar Festival at Birkenhead Priory in November and is hoped to tour other UK cities and festivals in 2010.

I instantly fell in love with the piece late last year and approached Neil to work on this project, explains Elms.

Its a world-class composition and Neil is an incredibly talented local composer.ê

I want the live performances to be an overall experience for the ticket holder, the venues are as important as the piece itself, St Lukes will be a stunning venue on a summers evening .

Although Ghost Stories started life as a studio project, Campbell feels as though it could have been written for the Leece Street location.

Most music doesot benefit from quite a big acoustic but we have found it works very well in very reverberant spaces., he says.

Anne has really made the vocal part her own. Its very operatic and theatrical.

GHOST STORIES is being performed at St Lukes Church, Liverpool city centre, on Thursday July 16. Tickets £12 (£10 concessions) from 0151 709 4988 or in person at the Unity Theatre box office.
