The sound of the station announcer’s voice at Liverpool Lime Street Station booms over the crowds making their way home after a hard day’s work in the city or as they pile in to the bars and music venues dotted around arguably the most vibrant city in the North of England. In amongst the organised chaos, the serenity of having a conversation with Matt Breen of The Endings about music, the band and being on the next step of his career is an oasis of calm.
