If there were medals for coaxing the sunshine back into the day and dismissing the rain that soaked Liverpool for the best part of a couple of hours, then Shoes4brakes would be arriving home with more decorations than Usain Bolt coming back from China with his tied around his waist and with Mo Farrah’s secretly stashed in his holdall.

The weather of course is but a side show to the main event, the collective power of wonderful persuasion that the twosome bring to the stage should not be easily dismissed, for to do so plays scorn upon the whole Liverpool music experience and that is something which should be sought out and spanked for its impudence and dishonour.

Rain must fall into the everyday; it is what after all makes the grass on the right side of the fence lush and green. The heavens may have opened with the feeling of the torrential storm homing in like an angry pigeon toting a bad attitude and blistering for an argument but in small corner of Liverpool, out of the rain but very much enjoying the sound of water hitting the small rounded gravel stones and the bouncing off the wooden tables, the Kazimier Garden’s audience wallowed in the beautiful sentiments offered by Derek King and the sly shake of the imagined fist as he dared the weather to do its worst.

To book end a month in Liverpool, to go from the searing heat that infused the Liverpool Loves weekend down at the Pier Head to closing what in some terms may seem like a small residency in the oncoming drizzle of the final chapter that Summer could muster at the Kazimier Garden, is something that very few performers could hope to achieve or even see in the sprawling streets of Liverpool’s musical heritage.
