In the area where some of the great albums of the last decade or so have been recorded, argued over, intense discussions over what musical note goes where, it’s always a relative oasis of calm when a night of music goes on, surrounded by the wooden panelling, pictures and awards and the sense of history.

Barry Briercliffe and Studio 2 sounds like a marriage made in heaven, add in the likes of the excellent Jo Bywater, Jessicas Ghost, Rae Clarke and Eddie Cooney, and that marriage is as close to a night of acoustic musical heaven as is near possible to experience.

The Lomax is the stuff of legends in Liverpool, an old iconic venue that has hosted within its old walls some great gigs and some splendid musicians. When Barry Briercliffe steps on the stage, the venue which is steeped in history, is able to add yet another fine musician to the ranks, another Liverpool son who knows his stuff and isn’t afraid to dress for the occasion.
