Sounds of the underground - read more at https://www.creativemoment.co/this-eurovision-musicians-in-liverpool-donate-their-busking-spots-to-help-fellow-ukrainian-artists Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine buskers have been robbed of their spots, so their music has had to go underground. But it’s not just their music that has been taken, it is also their livelihoods. So this Eurovision, Ketchum UK has created a campaign for buskers from Liverpool to give up their usual spots along the Merseyrail network to Ukrainian musicians, giving them the chance to perform for audiences and keep the conversation alive about this unjust war. Travellers going through the four biggest stations; Liverpool Central, Lime Street, Moorfields and James Street will be able to enjoy authentic Ukrainian busking music. Each busking spot has a speaker streaming the artists music and a QR code for passers-by to scan to find out more about the musicians' story, videos about them and to donate to the cause. All proceeds raised will go directly to Supplies for Ukraine C.I.C., who are working to provide essential, lifesaving equipment to civilians and volunteers on the front lines in Ukraine. There is an accompanying outdoor poster campaign across the Merseyrail network and all tracks are streamed as a playlist on Spotify.
