- Dont You Forget About Me | BME
Temporary Exhibition celebrating Scottish Rock and Pop, running 4 March to 25 September 2022 Don't You Forget About Me Celebrating Scottish Rock and Pop 4 March - 30 October 2022 Due to popular demand, the exhibition has been extended until 30 October 2022. We're looking north for the inspiration behind our new exhibition, celebrating the massive contribution to British Rock and Pop made by Scottish artists. The exhibition features iconic pieces from bands and artists who have helped shape the global music landscape over more than 60 years. The collection includes the Burberry coat worn by Midge Ure in the classic Ultravox pop video for Vienna, as well as the Tom Ford leather `Elvis’ outfit designed for Texas lead singer Sharleen Spiteri and the Issey Miyake coat worn by Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil. Instruments loaned for the exhibition include Cream legend Jack Bruce’s Aria bass guitar, and a Fender Stratocaster used by Big Country frontman and Skids guitarist Stuart Adamson, as well as an Ibanez acoustic guitar played by John McGeoch, once of Magazine and Siouxsie and the Banshees. There are also many other fascinating artefacts with significant contributions from artists such as Runrig, Primal Scream, Fish, Clare Grogan, Eddi Reader and the Bay City Rollers which include other iconic outfits, awards and pop culture gems. Harvey Goldsmith CBE and Chair of the Trustees of the British Music Experience said “We are delighted to be hosting Don’t You Forget About Me at the British Music Experience. It’s undeniable there have been monumental talents out of Scotland each year and the Museum is here to learn about and celebrate that talent, reminisce, and explore some of the unique bands and artists. The talent from Scotland is a vital part of the proud export of UK music which dominates the world.” Head of UNESCO City of Liverpool, Kevin McManus, commented “It’s great that BME are showcasing the best of Scottish music through Don’t You Forget About Me. There is musical talent all over Scotland, but Liverpool has strong links with Glasgow in particular- another maritime city that has consistently proved itself to be a musical powerhouse over the last 50 years. Indeed, both Liverpool and Glasgow are proud holders of the UNESCO City of Music designation, further linking and making us even closer musical allies.” The exhibition will be supported throughout its stay at the British Music Experience by a series of events including film screenings, performances, album playbacks and talks as well as some hard-to-find band merch and bespoke artwork celebrating Scottish talent. Ronnie Gurr, who has co-curated the exhibition and worked with countless Scottish artists during his lengthy career in the music industry, commented, "I was honoured when the BME invited me to pull together a smaller but equally beautiful reboot of the exhibition I had previously curated for the National Museum of Scotland called Rip It Up: The Story of Scottish Pop and to re-acquire some of the key artefacts from artists who have played their part in Scotland’s brilliant musical history. I have previously been described by the Scottish media as “the Indiana Jones of Scottish music” and, as such, it was another labour of love, a glorious adventure and a renewed quest to track down the treasures that you’ll see in Don’t You Forget About Me - or, as it might be called...Caledonia and The Pool of Life.” Entry is included in the price of admission. All tickets purchased are valid for 12 months and each eligible visitor has the opportunity to support the Museum by Gift Aiding the cost of admission.
- Cultural Recovery Grant
Thank you HLF, DCMS and Cultural Recovery Grant Thanks to the Government's Cultural Recovery Fund... The British Music Experience is thrilled to announce a grant for £97,800. Thanks to the Government's Cultural Recovery Fund the BME will keep its doors open in a covid safe way, retain jobs, programmes, activities and celebrate the UK's rich music heritage. Without these vital funds the Museum would most likely have been mothballed, jobs lost, and a world renowned collection of objects dispersed. We are so grateful. Thank you. Culture creates jobs, supports livelihoods, and brings joy to everyone. The UK leads the world in the creative industries and we can all feel pride in that. Now, in these challenging times, it’s our turn to show our support for culture. With an unprecedented investment through the £1.57bn Cultural Recovery Fund, the government is #HereForCulture so it can weather the storm of coronavirus and come back stronger. And we are #HereForCulture too. #HereForCulture is a movement that unites the public, government and cultural organisations in support of our fantastic cinemas, theatres, music venues, museums, galleries and heritage. We want people to make sure that where they are able to visit local culture venues in their communities, they do so in a covid secure way. Plus, with more and more culture being curated online, there is no better time to support and enjoy all the new and exciting ways culture is available to us. By being #HereForCulture, we aren’t just supporting the people in the industry, we’re also supporting communities across the country.
- An Evening with Midge Ure | BME
An evening in conversation with one of the most successful musicians of his generation. An Evening in Conversation with Midge Ure 9 December - 7.00pm We are delighted to welcome one of the most successful musicians of his generation, Midge Ure to BME for an evening in conversation. An artist who has received Ivor Novello, Grammy, BASCAP awards along with a flotilla of gold and platinum records, really needs very little introduction. By the time Midge's single "If I Was" went to No1 in 1985 he had already crammed several musical lifetimes into a 10-year professional career - Slik, The Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy, Visage, Ultravox and of course the most famous one-off group in musical history Band Aid all had the guiding hand of his musical navigation. November 25, 1984 was a historic day for Midge and all of pop music, as 36 artists by the collective name Band Aid gathered at SARM Studios in west London under Ure's production. They recorded 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' a song he had just written with Bob Geldof as the industry's heartfelt and eloquent contribution to Ethiopian famine relief. 600,000 copies sold in its first week in the UK alone and that was only the beginning: 800,000 more were bought in the second week, more than three million world-wide, and the unstoppable emotion engendered by the project led to Live Aid, the summer 1985 global concert that, all exaggeration aside, spoke for a generation. Within months, a staggering £8 million had been raised for the starving in Africa, and Geldof said that without Ure's initial enthusiasm for the idea, not to mention his rapidly penned sketch for the single, neither Band Aid nor Live Aid could have happened. Midge’s career continues to this day as writer, musician, producer and TV presenter. Midge and his band Electronica are returning to the UK with the ‘Voice & Visions’ tour, celebrating 40 years since the release of Ultravox’s Rage In Eden and Quartet albums. For this special evening, Midge will be in conversation with publisher Ronnie Gurr talking about his career to date. As an extra treat he will also perform a couple of acoustic songs. Midge’s new photobook, ‘in a picture frame’ will also be on sale at the event - a stunning collection of photographs taken by Midge on his travels between 1980 and 1985. All tickets £16. On sale Friday 5 November, 10am. Tickets to the event will allow you unlimited general entry to the BME for one whole year. You can help us support and grow the archive and collection of instruments and outfits by agreeing to Gift Aid your event ticket. We will receive £0.25 for each £1 spent. Remember to complete your Gift Aid declaration and hand it to us on arrival. Thank you for the support.
- Live Aid Takeover | BME
All day screening of highlights from the Wembley Live Aid concert, held on 13th July 1985. Live Aid Takeover 15 July 2023 - 10am-5pm Join us on Saturday July 15th to celebrate 38 years since the original Live Aid concerts were held in 1985. Billed as the 'global jukebox', the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium, attended by about 72,000 people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia attended by exactly 89,484 people. Thirteen satellites were used to beam the concerts to television sets around the world with the estimated television audience 1.9 billion across 150 countries. It is estimated that more than £150 million has been raised for famine relief as a direct result of the concerts. We will be showing highlights from the Wembley Stadium concert on our main stage during regular museum opening hours, so you can watch a little or a lot, take a break to look around the museum or visit our Star Café before the next band take to the stage. As well as the footage, our Live Aid cabinet is full of original memorabilia from 1984 onwards. The concert will be running on our main screen throughout the day, meaning our regular stage shows will be suspended for the day to make way for this historical footage. Free (general ticket entry required). Some seating available.

- Will Sergeant | BME
In conversation with Will Sergeant plus book signing Echoes: A Memoir Continued In-conversation with Will Sergeant 24 August 2023 - 7.30pm *SOLD OUT* BME is thrilled to host the book launch event for Will Sergeant’s follow-up memoir, Echoes. Born and raised in a small council house in Melling, outside of Liverpool, Will Sergeant caught with raw honesty his early days in 2021’s Bunnymen: his mother leaving the family, his father damaged no doubt in ways we still don’t understand from World War Two, the demon drink skewering the lives of Will and his siblings. Despite a difficult start – and luckily for adolescent Will -- there was a chance visit to indie club Eric’s in Liverpool, which introduced him to the punk scene…and an alternative musical odyssey began. When Echo & the Bunnymen hit the studio to record their ground-breaking debut Crocodiles, the album was the making of the band, and a cult following began to grow. In Echoes, Will recounts the band’s whirlwind rise to stardom, sharing never-before-told anecdotes, including playing sold-out-shows at Whiskey A Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene, supplemented by photographs of the cultural, social and political scenes at the time. This is a memoir to savour. Will Sergeant is a founding member of Echo & The Bunnymen. He has been cited as an influence for many bands and artists internationally, including U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Radiohead. He lives in the north west of England and still tours across the world to this day with his band. Will is in-conversation with Liverpool’s UNESCO Head of Music, Kevin McManus. The in-conversation will be followed by a book signing. Books are available to purchase on the evening from Linghams Booksellers. Tickets £8 - on sale Friday 7 July, 10am

- I Get Knocked Down | BME
A film telling the untold story of Leeds-based anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba followed by a Q&A with frontman Dunstan Bruce. I Get Knocked Down Film screening + Q&A with Dunstan Bruce Thursday 16 February, 7.00pm I Get Knocked Down is the untold story of Leeds-based anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba. Founding band-member Dunstan Bruce is 59, and he is struggling with the fact that the world seems to be going to hell in a handcart. Twenty years after his fall from grace, Bruce is angry and frustrated, but how does a retired middle-aged radical get back up again? In this punk version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past – his alter ego, ‘Babyhead’ – who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo. Following Bruce’s personal voyage of rediscovery, redemption, and reawakening, I Get Knocked Down acts as a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else. ‘It was everything I hoped it would be and more…it’s going to resonate with a lot of people who are getting older and have lost their revolutionary side.’ Charlie Phillips, The Guardian The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dunstan Bruce. Dunstan Bruce was the vocalist with Chumbawamba; famous for their worldwide hit Tubthumping (I Get Knocked Down) of 1997. His soundtrack for 'Whatever; A Teenage Musical' was nominated for an RTS Craft Award for Best original Soundtrack. He produced Daisy Asquith's 'Clowns' and Exec produced Jeanie Finlay's 'Sound It Out' and Toby Amies' 'The Man Whose Mind Exploded'. His documentary 'This Band Is So Gorgeous' was nominated for the IDFA Melkweg Best Music Documentary 2012 and his last film ‘A Curious Life’ was number 2 in the DVD music chart in Spring 2015. Director: Sophie Robinson, Dunstan Bruce Length: 87min All tickets £10. Our Star Café-Bar is open from 6.00pm. Please note, our museum galleries are closed during film screenings.
