Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There are colonies of bees that swarm all over the land in search of such richness, the flower that supplies the seeds for the recipe of the finest honey and the way it adds a slight golden hue to the endeavour of the day’s work; nobody has told them they that to be seen as super productive if front of their demanding queen, all they have to do is listen to the sound of Greg Russell’s debut solo album, Inclined To Be Red, and the elixir of life will be theirs for the taking.

The Journey Continues: Fellside At 40, Various Artists. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The music business may be seen to be dying but that does not mean that music is an art form that is on its knees, taking everything into account, it is arguably in a rude state of health and never it seems has Folk been so popular away from its original inspiring inception.

One such label who has had a more than a hand in the continued growth of artists is Fellside and at 40 years old, the lover of such fine music can but wish a happy birthday, blow out the candles of sincere gratitude and revel in some of the finest music made over the last 10 years since the label released the triple compilation album Landmarks.

Cast: Jennifer Bea, Greg Russell.

A sharp and touching slice of English life set in a Northern Pub owned by a savagely bickering husband and wife. Two is a series of short vignettes that skilfully combines pathos and humour, with all fourteen characters played by two actors. During the course of the evening assorted customers pass through including a little boy left behind by his father – an event which triggers a movement towards a fragile reconciliation between the pub couple, as their own dark tragedy is revealed.
