NT. SHOP. MORNING. BRIGHT .
Nate (mid twenties) reads a newspaper as he walks out of the newsagents. The shelves are bare other than newspapers and cigarettes. A woman (mid fifties) bumps into him.
WOMAN
Prick.
NATE
Hang on you bumped into me.
WOMAN
Just watch it.
NATE
Oh get lost.
She backs away into the shop. Nate continues to read his newspaper.

The Swapper is a side scrolling puzzle adventure game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. This particular game has been recognised with a number of high calibre awards since 2011, such as winning the Indie Showcase award at the Develop Conference 2011 and the Special Recognition award at IndieCade 2011, which certainly helped to bring the game to light as Curve Studios has brought Facepalm Games’ The Swapper to PlayStation platforms.

Never let it be said that in all parts of the Scottish and Irish main lands and their resident islands that there is not spirit of independence running through its mighty veins and boldly pumping heart. Even if the question upon everybody’s lips is of a different type of individuality, of a changed outlook and striking out on your own like an 20-something year old finally declaring its intention to move into its own apartment, the spirit and culture was always there and remain so everywhere you are willing to take a peek into.

The show must go on…even if there are sardines cluttering up the stage, the leading ladies hate each other, one of the leading men wants to kill the other with a fire axe and the Director is left a gibbering wreck, even with his enormous ego, in the wake of being on stage amongst the carnage and destruction that an acting troupe can bring to a theatre. Think you know theatre, then the magical mayhem of arguably the finest British comedy of the 20th Century, Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, is one to behold.

Everybody has a first crush, perhaps even lots of them, that moment in which the stars seem to explode and swirl with the force of a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. When the pain and desire of wanting to be with somebody so much is like receiving a blow to the head and in which months, even days later you admonish yourself for feeling the prize berk and abject fool that you feel you have become. Poetry gets written, often as painful as the first fleeting glimpse in which you saw your crush glance your way and in which smitten may as well be tattooed upon your forehead forever.

Time has arguably finally seen sense and allowed Deacon Blue the standing that was taken away after runaway success in the 1980s and 90s. For if the last release that the band bought out, the very cool The Hipsters, was a sign of intent, then A New Home is something in which to be proud of, not just for the listener soaking up the graphic-like story-telling and soon to be popular songs that will be broadcast and played live for their loyal audiences, but for the band also, for A New Home is something in where fresh and exciting adventures begin and exploration is pre-requisite.
From across two generations of inspired, emotionally-charged U.K. acoustic composition come hugely revered Yorkshire singer-songwriter Michael Chapman and Hastings guitar polymath James Blackshaw, joining forces for a six date adventure around England in December which includes a night at Leaf on Bold Street, Liverpool on Monday 8th December.
Both musicians deploys uses the oft-prosaic tools of folk music to construct their own transcendental, technically astounding tapestries of string and melody.
Producers of the brand new stage play version of Helen Forrester’s Twopence to Cross the Mersey are delighted to announce that the 2015 production will now extend across Merseyside following its initial three week run at the Liverpool Epstein Theatre, visiting Southport Theatre, St. Helens Theatre Royal and finishing its journey by finally crossing the Mersey at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton.

It could all come down to consistency for some, but in the end is there much difference Between Wine and Blood?
For New Model Army, the difference may be down to taste but what they have done with this double C.D. package is something that captures the very best of both worlds. Six brand new songs, six reasons in which to cheer the original work of Justin Sullivan, Michael Dean, Dean White, Marshall Gill and Ceri Monger, six songs in which reminded the listener of the past, specifically around the time of Thunder and Consolation but also in which carries the extremely good work that appeared on the Between Dog and Wolf album.
