Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The New Year is a week old and whilst many are feeling their way back into the way of 2014, the first stirrings of music can be heard through the alleyways and shelters from the inclement weather. If 2013 was a huge year for music in Liverpool, new artists and groups offering new blood to the sage, wise and considered, many brilliant bands from outside of the area and beyond making their way in some sort of momentous pilgrimage to the natural home of popular music and declaring that love with many hands on heart, then 2014 should be even better.

Such is the lure of Liverpool, its long standing reputation of being a port of call for any musician that wants to play in front of an appreciative audience, one that is open and receptive as long as you are sincere in the love of your craft and not just playing along till something else comes along. Such is that reputation that artists will literary travel thousands of miles just to play a half hour set.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Down the quieter road of Parr Street, Brink had opened its doors as a more sedate setting in which to have live music on during Sound City. The relaxed attitude, the status as a charity run venue all combining to make an evening’s entertainment, especially that utilising the keyboard and the person’s vocal talent, well worth catching. Even with the backdrop of various machines going off every so often, blenders for the smoothies for example, couldn’t detract from those who had waited patiently to see Anna Corcoran perform a selection of songs from her various E.P.s, including the superb The Show which has been getting rave reviews from all quarters of the music world.
