Some moments in life are so wonderfully off kilter and off the cuff that you cannot help but smile at the situation they surround. Tea in hand at the Everyman Theatre, tape recorder ready and a barrage of thoughts on how to talk to a man who has made the art of the interview a joy to behold in modern times, Peter Gabriel’s seminal solo song Games Without Frontiers comes over the building’s P.A. Knowing that Mike Neary is a huge fan of early Genesis and knowing that he is listening to the intelligently written lyrics with the same appreciation and thought that he prides himself upon when listening to any of the major interviews he conducts for Gemma Aldcroft’s and Karen Podesta’s hugely well produced Little Atoms company in St. George’s Hall, puts me at ease. After all it can be a daunting task interviewing somebody who in a media driven society stands aloft and above 99 percent of interviewers concerned.
Elijah James, Zanzibar. August 2014.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
There is no way you could miss Elijah James, out in the open or as he sits down to perform infront of an audience. The quiet, modest, almost unassuming man has a following that is vocal and enjoys what he does and quite rightly so.
Sons Of Mowgli, St Luke’s Church, Liverpool. August 2014.

It is often reported as a matter of fact that every living Human on the planet could stand side by side on the Isle of Wight, aside from the logistical nightmare and the social faux pas of finding yourself next to someone who thinks they are a clever so and so and refusing to shake your hand, just exactly how would you entertain everybody whilst the experiment was proved? If you made everybody listen to an I-Pod and made sure that the first songs they heard were by Wirral-band Sons of Mowgli, then at least whilst wondering why you would conduct such an insane experiment, the people stood shoulder to shoulder on the Isle of Wight would have something decent to listen to.

It is impossible to ignore something forever and when you find yourself laughing at some of the absolute filfth that runs through the latest big screen adventure for the four lads who make up The Inbetweeners, you either have to check that you didn’t leave a vital part of your brain in a field surrounded by cattle licking it and getting a human high from it or ,making a mental check list to watch some of the episodes again to make sure that you just weren’t being an idiot for not enjoying it in the first place.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
To sing on a stage, to perform as a duo when normally your live set is a tight and almost unbreakable foursome, to play as though your voice is smiling, is something that just has to be seen and witnessed. For Jimmy and The Revolvers that quality of being able to pull off all three requirements to being to being considered having greatness thrust upon them is one that comes with a humble shrug of the shoulders and a unsaid apology as if to say, “Well why wouldn’t we?”
Gary A. Gardner at St. Luke’s Church, Liverpool. August 2014.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
The last year must seem like a dream to Gary A. Gardener. A man who found his way back into performing, who has played gig after gig in the local area and beyond and who has been roundly supported and appreciated fully. Why this might be a surprise one can only surmise however when you can write songs with clarity and overwhelming sensitivity, the surprise must be taken out to the wood shed, spanked and told that it is not welcome for Mr. Gardener really does fit the bill in terms of very good musicians who can hold an audience’s attention.

No matter how many times you watch John Chatterton perform in or around Liverpool you constantly feel bowled over by the genuine love that works its way between performer and audience in a constant yoyo effect that never seems capable of stopping.
The set is one that has an un-dilutable power attached to it, a facility to charm despite what many people might think about certain songs, their expressions and thoughts are soon changed as Mr. Chatterton’s guitar takes the crowd past their pre-conceptions and delights and beguiles in broad equal measure.
Billy Kelly at St. Luke’s Church, Liverpool. August 2014.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
There aren’t too many towns and cities in the U.K. that are as close physically, geographically and tangibly as Bootle and Liverpool. Many are the people that don’t know much about the town on the Mersey, just over three miles north from the Capital of music culture and the struggles it faces on a daily basis. There are those that even think that Bootle is just another off-shoot, an estate, within the borders of Liverpool. Yet despite a certain lack of understanding that resides in the minds of many, Bootle shares a common thread with its younger but much bigger sister, its ability to turn out musicians who adhere to the way of social conscious and who aren’t afraid to say so. One such musician opened up the substantial afternoon of acoustic music at St Luke’s Church, Bootle’s own Billy Kelly.

The invasion from the Scandinavia continues and long may it do so, for the realm of Metal needs acts and music from the lands of Norway, Denmark, Finland and music in its entirety from all the group of nations that encompass the thoughts and reasoning of the people there. In amongst the land of plenty you can and should also add Sweden of course and Swedish band Machinae Supremacy to the multitude, for failing to do so is surely an act of Metal heresy.
