Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Even in a world which swears undying adoration to the supposed truth of black and white, there is always room for a Myriad Of Colour to infiltrate the monochrome existence that we have been pushed, shoved into, as if we were incapable of seeing the beauty of a rose or the gentleness of grass without being instructed that it was there, that without the help of the over involved, we would be blind to the depth of shades and flush available.

Extremists of any background are a danger to the country, not just our own, but around the world, if you have to even raise more than your voice in defence of your political position then you have lost the argument, you have lost the right to be seen as civilised and part of the system.

By way of introduction and welcoming to the show that is about to unfold, to return to the foundation of a story that went onto captivate and charm, thrill and not without the inevitable sense of distraction and sadness that comes as equal partners in a tale of the undaunted heroism that is performance…Ladies And Gentlemen, let the women speak for themselves as they take you back to the very beginning of The Bangles.

Progressive rock never became unpopular, it was just misunderstood and shouted over by the angry two-minute epic rant; and in the same way that a novel offering guidance and invaluable reasoning will never be replaced by a well versed tweet, so art will never be found wanting for the album that transcends the earthly and routine in favour of the larger than life classic which struts with grandness, with purpose, and with an ambition to reach more than just a moment of recognition, it requires the humility of the soul to be grabbed as well.

Pop, it was once insisted, would eat itself.
For some the flesh of the genre might have been stripped down to the core, the power pop of generations past having lost its elasticity fighting for breath in a sea of consumption and want; and then there are those who have defied the argument, and for them it is more than just Old Bones keeping the genre together, it is the soul of appreciation that makes the body full, conversant with the sentiment of the day, and a full formed human observance that makes the songs dance with joy and spirit.

It is a Lonely Road we walk upon, and if we are fortunate enough to even find company for part of the journey in which to talk, to hold a hand when the going gets tough, or even just to contemplate silence and to enjoy the moment of having a comrade for the duration, then the lonely road is one that can still have songs accompany the time, the pace, and the meaning of travelling a distance with nothing but your own thoughts.

The same fierceness, the utmost resolution in performing, a will and determination that has seen her become the undisputed queen of modern British Blues, and one to whom the listener at large falls for as they regale in the memory of songs she has placed before them; a modern British sensation on the world stage, a woman of substance, Joanne Shaw Taylor is Nobody’s Fool.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The sound of music is rarely anything but generous, if it is given permission to slide into the soul like first teenage love into the mind, it can be both pure, and exotic, the harvest it offers is enough to have you reminiscing at all times on its influence, how it makes you choose sides, how it ails you, how it lifts you to places that you never would imagine existing; and all that comes between is proof that it’s emotional resonance is all that is required to take you back…Back Where We Are, back to belief.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Admiration of longevity normally comes with a price, the understanding that a particular artist, a group, a collection of like-minded performers has been around as long as you can remember, ones that may have formed your early appreciation for the genre, can lead to feelings of buoyancy, and that of regret.
The upheaval of the heart is such that the memory is subject to a bout of melancholy, the soul searches for a True North, and the mind will wander, flicking from celebration of past works to the commemoration that like life itself, such things must eventually end.
