Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
There are times when looking past the limit of all that you have achieved so far and seeing further with the mind’s eye is the only option available to the human spirit of adventure; sadly the experience of finding the absolute is hindered by perspective, the limitations we have put upon ourselves is a blinkered weight which closes our eyes to the possibility of further knowledge, of understanding and greatness.

The Muppet Show it isn’t, there is no cosy sense of mischief, of childhood playfulness felt, and yet the Henson name is driven through The Happytime Murders like a nail being hammered through a sock and because of this sense of stuffed innuendo and rebellion to go and deliver an adult-orientated puppet/human story, the makers have stitched together a film which is beautifully insubordinate, outrageously defiant and completely, and utterly, sublime.
In the darkness
of your words one February night,
you seemed to revel in my misfortune
oh dear woman
of Norfolk broad;
a scathing attack with borrowed fire
and from out of nowhere personal confrontation.
It was in that moment that I thank you
for being so mean, so
unpleasant as you tried to shame me
about finding solitude in the shadow
and the trace of ghostly human light,
your insult and insinuation
that blackness doesn’t exist
and that misery is a state of mind,
A brand-new production celebrating the life and music of renowned singer-songwriter Paul Simon comes to the Liverpool stage later this year. An extra performance has already been added due to popular demand, now becoming a two-night run.
Something About Simon, from producers Something About Productions and Bill Elms, will premiere at the Epstein Theatre on Tuesday 6th November and Wednesday 7th November with tickets on sale now.
With a phenomenal career that has spanned over seven decades, Paul Simon is a name that has cemented itself into the “hearts and bones” of audiences all over the world.
Britain’s best-selling classical artist of the last 25 years, Katherine Jenkins O.B.E. today announces the release of her new album, Guiding Light, out 30th November via Decca Records.
The release is also accompanied by the announcement of Katherine’s new 2019 tour An Evening With Katherine Jenkins, with pre-sale tickets available from September 5th and on general sale from Friday 7th September.
For Katherine, the new album represents the culmination of a deeply emotional journey which began when her beloved father, Selwyn, died and found a new path when she became a mother. It is an album which speaks of life, hope, acceptance and a universal spirituality, and for Katherine there is a sense of a greater purpose to her performance.

To be able to reflect upon life, to look upon the world and your place within it and understand that you can at least alter, mend, see through the course of revolution, then that is the point where you can look the clock in the eye and say that Day After Day you did your utmost to see Time as the way to beat injustice and social flaws that seem to creep back into our lives like a swarm of Ants finding a crack in the skirting and leaving their footprints over the forgotten dust of rhythm and rebellion.

You don’t have to understand the mechanics of the Waltz to know how elegant it looks when performed by players and dancers as they glide effortlessly on the dance floor, you do not have to sit and think about the inner working of Auden’s Stop All The Clocks or Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Hamlet when considering how the words of ordinary men and women can move and haunt you for all your life, and you don’t have to feel embarrassed when a virtuoso presents the stunning influence of Italian classical composer Lorenzo Perosi to you.

You cannot take back what was said yesterday, it hangs in the air of conversations and gossip-monger’s hearts as they find ways to bring you down to their level of insecurity or passionless existence. What you may have said, what your thoughts were being dictated to at the time may be of little consequence to the outside world, after all, the muse requires feeding, and rarely with a closed mind or mouth; and yet those that hold onto a word indefinitely if it means they have something to beat you with, the misspoken word said in jest can soon become a poison that keeps on giving.
