Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Many will declare when asked that their dreams are always forgotten the moment they wake up, some will linger beyond the first drowsy shake of the head and the casual swipe of rheum from the eye, but the dream, unless absolutely memorable for its content, will fade into dust like much of history.

Love is in the air, unsurprisingly perhaps, for following Christmas and New Year, the holiday that celebrates new hope in the eyes of those seeking amorous connection, those who wish to have a sparkle in their lives following the darkness of long winter nights and little comfort, who can blame any soul wishing to be the subject who lives in a Dream House, who can for a time feel the emotion of a serenade created especially for them.

Authenticity is a road few will travel along for longer than is necessary, eventually the lure of the beyond will transform the route being marched into one of golden pavements, of light feet, and fierce love from all; but to stay true to yourself, your ethic, to be genuine and faithful, is to be trusted without question; it is after all your name that is on the cover, your own stamp on the skin, and all will look to that for reassurance in times when others are happily circling the drain.

We require courage to see into the lives of others and witness their hurt, their moments of broken fragile nature, and yet it only takes the understanding of compassion, the truth of empathy, to set in motion the trajectory of Time’s Arrow back on its rightful and honest path.
Art enters our lives, not just by physical observance, but by a relief of osmosis, to find someone who has never been touched by a song, a line from a poet’s sonnet, a marble statue representing a state of grace between humanity and the heavens, is to come face to face with true and utter contemptible blankness, the arrow of time is not just off balance, it is wildly off the mark.

The sound of a single drum can bring more visual interpretation to mind than that of the pulse of a thousand of its compatriots in full flight, the difference might be in volume, the thousand creating a sense of bulk, of inevitable destruction, but it is to the feel of the two sticks on a snare or medium tom, the kick on the bass, or even the cymbal high above that can bring the depth of fear in its tone, the concern of the repetitive tap quietly playing in the vicinity will bring a greater reveal than almost anything the mind can conjure with.

What serves as an inspiration on screen can be found to have come from a source of truth, and whilst that can be seen readily in an action film, a love story, even a political drama, to witness such a film based within the horror genre is perhaps a deeper mystery to fathom; and yet if you move away from the sight of ghouls, ghosts, unmentionable beings, then you can see where the true monsters lay…the image of ourselves staring at us from on high on the silver screen.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
In the blink of an eye, that is how life can suddenly appear to have to slip through our fingers, the sands of Time running unnervingly, mechanically fast, as if spurred on by clockwork, and if we are not careful all we have to show for our lives is empty promises, the empty vessels of what could have been.

We rightly applaud the solo performer in their pursuit and dedication to portraying their truth on stage, the sweat and perspiration on the brow of solo artist of the crowd focusing all their attention on the weapon of choice, the guitar, the voice, any instrument in which the Good Days and melancholic wonders can combine in time to fill the void left by silence.

We must put the time of year into perspective, we must understand the reasons, or even accept that there are none in which seem logical, that Christmas as a holiday has become one of division and brimming with its own sense of dogma.

To be given the opportunity to study the craft of a genius, that is surely all any writer or observer of life can ever hope to be gifted, and to be involved with one of Britain’s foremost political satirists and writers of modern farce, even in a viewing capacity, must be at the very least, sheer heaven.
