Thom Morecroft, The Feng Shui And The Sushi. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Everything in its place and delivered with such raw spirit, Thom Morecroft is an undeniable barometer of good music and introspective lyrics that highlight both his musical taste and the way he knits together certain textures and meanings together to bring a down to earth response and open mind view to any situation he wishes to cover in his songs, even the ones that are the most personal, the most delicate which shows the wounds he carries with honour.

Emilio Pinchi, Absentee E.P. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Once you are done with your holiday and you are not ready to return to the humdrum of the 9 to 5 and politics of life, the only logical course of action is to see the blank space on the register as the prime source of satisfaction, that of the Absentee, the one who sees past the indoctrination of the imagined lesson, and who seizes the opportunity to deliver their own judgment, their true thoughts on the art of being missed.

Gazel, Gazel’s Book Of Souls. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The souls we meet upon the way are those that inform, guide, and possibly even love us; however there are those that are not destined to be seen in the light, only to be shrouded in darkness, it is up to our own individual senses to decipher the mystery of the various chapters, the words of the living, that make up the Book Of Souls.

Vetiver, Up On High. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Serenity and peace is a feeling denied so many, even those touched by the sense of composed calm are usually blessed with just the barest mention in their lives, the look to the Heavens, to see Up On High and reflect in a measure of stillness, that is the pleasure it seems reserved only for Gods, The Silent and The Muse.

Rob Davis, The Motherless Oven. Graphic Novel Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

What may seem surreal to one, makes perfect sense in the eyes of another, and it is in this dichotomy of visual experiences that confronts the reader of Rob Davis’ The Motherless Oven, to delve further into the notion of the rationalising strange, that is what constitutes the embrace of imagination, of recognising that the extraordinary can happen.

I Wanna Be Yours, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Emily Stott, Ragevan Vasan, Rachael Merry.

The search for mutual affection is a dance to which there is no instructional video, the discovery of a soul mate is that waltz or freestyle swaying pirouette through polite society and the odd incursion into the realm of misunderstanding, is one that leaves you breathless and at times declaring a submission, the foxtrot of love ignoring all the rules you may have learned.

Midge Ure, Gig Review. Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool. (2019).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You always hope to catch the effervescent in a performance, the sincerity of the lively and the dynamic in the same thread of the act, whilst understanding that it is the memory of a certain time, of nostalgia, making the hairs on the back of the neck stand firmly to attention and the whisper of the music fall in love once more.

A good franchise never knows when to quit, there is always another element to the story, another piece to the puzzle that can be stretched out to its limit and leave the dedicated and the devoted hanging on the hope of another instalment to come.
