Bill Feehely, Money & Love. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The world runs on them both, a hidden clock ticking over and over again in our hearts and in the bills we have to pay. Money & Love, you can live without either but the fun of life is somewhat limited, it is incomplete and hardly worth a jot. We even wish that money was not important, that somehow we could be decent human beings and find a way to devise a system that did not reward some and punish others just for the family or circumstance they were born into.

Witches In High Heeled Shoes.

 

When I was a boy

I believed that witches

were real.

Even good ones.

The Witch in the Wizard of Oz

scared me,

the pointy shoes

and I cheered when Dorothy

and her friends

dropped a house on her

tired withered body.

I reasoned that good witches

could wear high heeled shoes,

all black, stiletto points

and daggers in the stamped down male foot,

when we didn’t behave.

Dorothy, I thought,

you can leave those witches be.

Hobgoblin Music, 40 Years. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We are told as children that in the woods live all manner of creatures and furry things with ears, beings that will eat us up if we stray from the path, that they will snatch us, make us disappear and end up in the broth boiling away in the middle of the woods. There are those creatures though that despite the initial fear of what lays beyond, have only your best interests at heart.

The Small Faces, There Are But Four Small Faces. Album Re-Issue Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is a task that not even the once King of Ephyra would have considered a viable option in return for rolling a large, round stone ball up a hill and trying to balance it before it fell down the other side and Sisyphus smacked his head in frustration; such punishment is cruel, unusual and points the way to the unwary and the innocent to be aware.

Sue Hedges, Strong. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Sue Hedges has never been known for hiding in the corner, confidence, preparation and a voice that knows how to box the ears of those whose ignorance betrays them. Strong is as strong does, it is alright to appear so but you must have the compassion that goes along with it and as the listener takes in Ms. Hedges’ new album, one thought makes itself known, that this could be regarded as the next peak to be scaled and one brilliantly traversed.

Little Sparrow, Tender. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

If we are fortunate in life then we will have experienced love as both the person adored and the one who has feels their heart pound faster when near the person who makes them special; if we prosperous in love then we have been so close to a family member that to be without them is the hardest emotion to bare.

We know we can rely on them just for a kind word when the going gets tough, we can give them a hug without seeking permission, even when the moment isn’t right, we can miss a smile, the smell, the look, the worn out jumper they used to wear as a second skin, we miss them because our Tender hearts are only human.

Stuart Todd, The Leaving Of San Francisco. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The very name evokes images that split the heart, the mind and the emotions contained within. To some San Francisco is a by word of an era that never lived up to its potential, a symbolic gesture now dashed upon the rocks of commercialism, of a thought that has come to despise such notions of free love, radical politics and anti-war truth and made to cheapen them, made to see the age of Aquarius as nothing more than a desperate attempt to lead humanity away from the dogma of Capitalism.

Sting Performs At The Maritime Museum As The Last Ship Comes To Liverpool.

From where Sting sat on his chair on the top floor of the Maritime Museum he could have looked out and witnessed a dock that was now home to small boat owners and had all the furnishings of renewal, a product of change, of one that was required to save an important link to the city of Liverpool’s past.
