Reviving Community Spirit: The Big Guitar-In Fundraiser Hits Liverpool!

On Thursday, December 11, 2025, the much-anticipated Big Guitar-In Fundraiser returns for its fifth installment, aiming to support the invaluable community classes offered by The Florrie. This landmark event unites musicians and music lovers alike for a night filled with camaraderie, joy, and a shared passion for music.

Setting Records and Building Connections

The goal for this year's fundraiser is ambitious: to surpass last year’s record of 602 guitarists performing in unison by bringing 603 musicians together on stage at Mountford Hall, a prestigious venue renowned for hosting legendary acts like Queen and The Who. The event is not only about breaking records; it's a celebration of community. The Florrie's Community Classes provide crucial support to residents, helping them learn new skills, engage in physical activities, combat social isolation, and foster friendships.

A Platform for Emerging Talents

This year, the spotlight shines on Liverpool's vibrant young musicians, with talents such as Ellis Murphy, Louis Gibney, and Olga Fitz taking center stage. In addition to these rising stars, established artists, including members of Space and Crowded Scouse, will contribute to what promises to be an unforgettable night of music. The Big Guitar-In Fundraiser emphasizes inclusivity, encouraging participants of all skill levels—whether you are an experienced guitarist or just beginning your musical journey—to join in on the celebration.

Joining the Movement

Tickets for performers and a limited number of spectators are already selling out quickly, underscoring the event's popularity. For those unable to attend, donations can be made to further support The Florrie's community initiatives. This fundraiser not only aims to provide immediate financial assistance but also strengthens the community's fabric through music and shared experiences.

The Big Guitar-In Fundraiser is more than just a musical event; it embodies the spirit of Liverpool and strives to uplift the community during challenging times. As we approach this remarkable evening, it serves as a reminder of the power of music to bring us together and inspire change.
