We must of course have a lad from Bergen on stage during the Liverpool festival. Alek is ready for the main stage!
The 27-year-old was born and raised in Bergen and for the past three seasons has become a popular feature at Scruffy Murphys in Bergen. He is usually there with the guitar and starts the atmosphere before the games. The members of Liverbirds Bergen love him and we at the Liverpool Festival naturally became curious about the guy. After a trip to Bergen in April, we were convinced that he must play at the Liverpool Festival
Alek, or Aleksander Hornes as his real name is, has been playing guitar since he was a small toddler. It all started with him and his stepfather each getting a guitar and since his stepfather was Pink Floyd, the evenings were spent learning the legendary "Wish you were here". When it was finally set, there were eventually many songs in the repertoire. These days, LFC songs and live performances are mostly played during supporter meetings both in Bergen and elsewhere in the country.
Shared stage with Andy Hodgson
Alek is of course a Liverpool supporter at heart. He has several trips over to Anfield and Liverpool, and in connection with the last home game of the year, he will also do a couple of gigs there, at The Derry Club and NO9 Kitchen and bar. If you're over, stop by one of these places
But Alek has also shared the stage with Andy Hodgson during a visit from the Scouser in Bergen in April this year. And Andy was full of praise for Alek and clearly let us know that he would like us to book him to play at the Liverpool Festival. So we did it!
In addition, he was also invited on stage in Milan during Andy's concert before the Champions League match against Milan. Check out the video below, where you get 45 seconds of good atmosphere from Milan.
Alek plays all of LFC's songs and you will be able to experience him several times during the Liverpool Festival 2025. We are looking forward to having the guy visit, and you should look forward to getting to know him better!
Who else is ready?
We are in the process of getting more legends and artists in place. Some of the names will be released before Christmas and the rest throughout the winter and spring. Of course, we want everyone to be well satisfied with our final line-up, so those who wait for something good rarely wait in vain.
These are ready: Sammy Lee, The Ragamuffins, Andy Hodgson, Alek, Rasmus Dugstad, Rune Bakkelund.
