Chicago, Chicago XXXVI. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Creatively Chicago were one of the finest bands to have ever come out of America, they rank up there with absolute greats and their blockbuster of an album which they wrecorded live Chicagio at Carnegie Hall still rates as one of the finest pieces of music ever captured in the rawness of the stage show. Yet time moves on, the slight off putting stale, fragrant-less aroma comes out every now and then as you listen intently to the ensembles latest release Chicago XXXVI.

Scotty Road-The Musical, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Scotland Road is one of the most iconic and celebrated roads in Liverpool, it has been home to a community who have looked at its heyday with a certain fondness and others have looked at it with begrudging respect that it held so many people together despite any backlash from other areas that ran it down. People have lived there; worked there and grown up there, it is only right that eventually a musical would be based on Scotty Road.

Chicago – the very whisper of intrigue, scandal, murder, vice and jazz that’s stalks this musical sets audiences into one of those wild surges of expectation which can make or break every performances. The bigger the expectation can lead to a much bigger and dramatic fall.
