Sentric Music kicked things off in the tiny basement of Heebies Jeebies with Oxford folk rockers Ute offering up the perfect apéritif to the evening ahead. There was plenty of pre festival hype for two local bands playing at the Bombed Out Church, Outfit and the masked Clinic. Both didn't disappoint and offered a clear signal of the strength of the Liverpool music scene.
As if to bolster that previous sentence another local talent Miles Kane was taking to the stage on the other side of town at St George’s hall.
