Silent Sleep, Walk Me To The Sea. Album Review,

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are times when you don’t need to shout too hard about what you have found, the object, the piece of music or hitherto unseen action will always find a way to make itself known and inspire those who take the time to get to understand it and sit in quiet contemplation as each word, each syllable and note floats over them and through them.  Like the sea making its presence known through each grain of sand, the infiltration is slow, meticulous and all powerful.

The Dovedale Social Celebrates First Birthday With Great Music.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Penny Lane is a place with very obvious links to Liverpool music and as The Dovedale Social celebrates its first birthday, that bond is being kept alive and well.

The band chosen to headline the night, Liverpool’s own Married to the Sea, were a perfect choice for the event. Their brand of radio friendly, indie-pop fits nicely into the relaxed environment The Dovedale emanates. Whilst they may not necessarily be the “rowdy” act which they describe themselves as, what they do they do very well. The members swap instruments at various points throughout the set, front-man Sam cracks jokes and all in all a very relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere filters from the stage down into the audience, who tonight are very decent in number.
