Music Week crowds enjoy the festival Music Week is now the UK’s largest indoor winter festival event and was founded by Liverpool promoter Mike Deane in 2003. Since it began, Liverpool Music Week has grown from a single venue venture into a festival that has attracted over 65,000 people, and helped break artists such as The Wombats, Hot Club de Paris & Eugene McGuinness. Mike and his team recently partnered with Cream CEO James Barton: "We've added new dimensions to the festival this year to accommodate bringing more high profile artists to the city" says Mike, "joining forces with Cream has burst open doors that we have been knocking on politely for years."  The Kaiser Chiefs will perform.
