comedian Tom O'Connor.

Pepper at 50 celebrations, which will see the City reinvent the albums 13
tracks via a myriad of events featuring international artists working in
collaboration with Liverpool based organisations.
The short films can range from professional; standard productions to being
shot and edited on smart phones.
The chosen films will be selected for their imaginative response to the

through Liverpool.
