The New Year brings a fresh new gathering of top notch musicians to the forefront of live performing in Liverpool and in Leaf on Bold Street, the year got off to a marvellous start with the cracking sound of Silent Sleep.
Fronted by Chris McIntosh and with a cast of veritable thousands on stage, Silent Sleep made a dull January evening, not always the best time of year with the ensuing damp and bitter cold hitting the city, a night of fun and quiet musical contemplation which was enjoyable and nonetheless beautiful.
