Fear is the mother of Hope, without one you cannot have the other, without them both the world makes as much sense as dumping a lorry load of nettle leafs into molten gold and selling the remains to the people of Sark in exchange for the island’s entire bicycle collection. Some things just don’t make sense.

There are moments that stick in the mind more clearly than others, the instant when you witness something so extraordinary, when you hear something so surprisingly exceptional that not only do the hairs on the back stand up on the back of the neck, they wave remarkably in the strong gust of future expectation and are strong enough to withstand the wear and tear of a flag being run up and down them for a dozen years.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Listen, the biggest secret of them all, the one that is always hidden in plain sight but never quite shows itself; does the Doctor know fear?
It is a question that seems to be skirted round, passed over or answered in such a way that it makes the very action in which The Doctor resolves the problem is one of false bravado. It makes the loyal viewer, the unremitting fan, feel better about themselves because no matter what The Doctor has the answers.
Following the huge success of her latest U.K. tour this year Hannah Trigwell will be joined by multi-talented singer-songwriter Nick Howard on their exciting debut tour in October which includes a night at Liverpool’s The Shipping Forecast on Saturday 11th.
Coven is a mixed media collaboration between Katie Craven and Adam Scovell. The exhibition opens on Friday the 24th of October at 24 Kitchen Street and explores themes of the occult, the supernatural, and the esoteric by placing them in the context of the natural landscape. Influenced by the stories of M.R. James, the films of Kenneth Anger, and the life of Aleister Crowley, the exhibition mixes different forms of media to create a haunted experience derived from the land. Coven includes:
Tarot (2014) – a short super 8 video work by Scovell in collaboration with Liverpool band, BIRD, and with title cards by Craven.
Christmas has come early as writer Dave Kirby and an all-star Liverpool cast officially launched the return of the smash hit adult comedy Dreaming of a Barry White Christmas.
The show that stormed EchoTwo @ Liverpool’s Echo Arena for five nights last Christmas returns by popular demand for 2014, this time, for an extended three week run in the intimate surroundings of the Echo Arena’s sister venue, The Auditorium. Dave Kirby’s grown-up festive treat will run from Monday 15th December to Saturday 3rd January 2015 and tickets are on sale now.
With a debut E.P. due out, a gig at Leaf to look forward to and college work to do, perhaps the last thing that stunning singer and guitar player needed to was to sit down and talk about music at F.A.C.T. However, it is the measure of the woman who sits down in front of me, with a certain style that seems beyond her young years, sips on a cranberry juice and is readily forthcoming about her passion for music.

If the word division has been on people’s lips of late, it could be seen as understandable. Everywhere you care to look, no matter what side you feel you are either urged to take or come too of your own research and accord, division is everywhere. It is in every fabric of society and seems so deeply engrained that even if a nation or family votes in a majority in favour of something, the arguments it has caused are going to live long in the memory.
Middle Age I have found to be a painful reminder
of melancholy memory. I tell myself that I am not old,
nor scared of what is to come, the hurt of loss, the fragility of kindness,
that I have these greying bags under my blue eyes not because I am tired,
exhausted with continuous running and pulls on my time,
nor wish for a deep dreamless sleep every night
in which nightmares are also kept at bay without the aid
of a chain of garlic slices hung around my fattening neck,
Bullying, by its very nature is a hideous and repugnant. Whether it is in the form of government control, the online world of social media, in the work place, in the home with either gender being the downtrodden and abused or from people you once considered friends, bullying is perhaps the most negative, most destructive practice one person can place upon another’s life.
