The View's Kyle Falconer will play an acoustic set in Liverpool later this month to help raise awareness for dyslexia.

The singer will be joined at The Picket venue on February 27 by a host of local bands and DJs, including The Answering Machine.

The event has been organised by Resolution Daes - a not-for-profit company which aims to help raise further awareness to issues arising from dyslexia.

The gig will focus on two issues: the free funding available for people to train as specialist dyslexia teachers and making schools dyslexia friendly.

Tickets for the gig are on sale now.
