Hundreds of singers packed out the Museum of Liverpool today to deliver a “spinetingling” rendition of a Beatles classic.
A choir ‘flash mob’ lined the stairs and atrium of the visitor attraction and led members of the public in a stripped back version of The Beatles’ With A Little Help From My Friends. The event was held in partnership with #HelpUkraineSong which is aiming to unite the world through music in support of Ukraine.
The project was dreamed up by Aurora, a Liverpool based creative agency, and backed by Ukraine’s official fundraising platform UNITED24, launched by President Zelensky. All money raised by #HelpUkraineSong will go to War Child - a specialist charity for children affected by conflict.

ECHO reporter Ryan Paton was in attendance for the performance, which he described as “spinetingling” with the hundreds of voices carrying around the large, open space. Members of the audience were so wowed by the events they called for an encore, which the choir and musicians delivered.
The choir later moved out to the front of the museum, next to the Eurovision Village, where they delivered a further performance. All those part of the choir are backing #HelpUkraineSong to help platform Ukrainian culture and national identity while the nation fights against Russian invasion.
Events and performances will be taking place the Eurovision Village from 2pm. The Eurovision Grand Final starts at 8pm today.
