Looking For Oil Drum Lane. Radio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Marc Wootton, Barry Castagnola, James Hurn, Phil Cornwell, Ian Pearce, Toby Longworth.

It has been observed that the closest occupation resembling death, is that of writing. The endless search for inspiration is consuming, an overwhelming, often fearful, unbearable shadow in which the writer sees only blankness before them. It is a struggle that requires discipline, the ability to keep going in a desert of solo thought, and fortune to come up with an idea that, if you are lucky, will grip the nation in tears, or with hope in laughter.

Cast, Gig Review. Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Like the name New York, something’s are worth repeating twice in the same breath or in the same excited tone, like the return of local heroes to a treasured venue after only a couple of months and with the same stirring set and the same quality of music being performed by band and orchestra alike.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Stephen Langstaff.

In Stephen Langstaff’s case it’s not hard to see why. Over the last few years he has worked steadily and diligently in building up his songbook and it looks as though the hard work has finally paid off as Stephen is now able to concentrate fully on his passion. It is this work ethic that makes being able to pin Stephen down for a talk about music a pleasure.
