This month the Lantern Theatre in Liverpool plays host not to just one comic satirist but two. Alongside Lee Camp from the United States is Nick Revell, a man who Time Out in 2012 gave the ultimate accolade of ‘Master Satirist’ to and who will be joining forces for two nights of comedy titled Transatlantic Fury. This special night of comedy is one to savour as Nick Revell’s pedigree is one that very few can top.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Tom McLennan Of Dingle Community Theatre.
Bertolt Brecht is never really out of fashion as a playwright, it’s just that the times have to start becoming bleak and dangerous before his powerful works are remembered fully and the warnings he spells out are heeded. On the back of the 2011 magnificent performance of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui at The Playhouse which starred Ian Bartholomew and Leanne Best and now Dingle Community Theatre and Tom McLennan have adapted one of his most famous plays Fear and Misery of the Third Reich which is being performed at The Lantern Theatre in May. The play, noted for being Brecht’s first openly anti-Nazi work was first performed in 1938 and still has the power to inform and shock audiences.
Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Grethe Borsum.
In the week that The FACT Centre on Wood Street unveiled its latest exhibition, The Art of Pop video, I was able to meet up with Norwegian musician and photographer Grethe Borsum and spend time with her talking about her new musical venture and her inspired video for the song Apple Picking. The talented and charming woman from Baerum near Oslo came to Liverpool in 2003 and attended L.I.P.A and received a B.A. in Music and Performing Arts.
Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Phil Cooper.
Sometimes talking to someone who has been on the other side of the music business for many years can be a little daunting. Someone whose pedigree of listening to music professionally for the best part of two decades stands before him and the knowledge that not only is he an entertainer but he is a man who adores music completely, in every shape and form.
Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Carrianne Hayden.
Carrianne Hayden is one of the many musicians/actors that have made Liverpool their home after finishing at L.I.P.A. She has contributed to the ever burgeoning and diverse music scene in Liverpool and has a distinctive voice that has the ability to send appreciative shivers up and down the spine as each note she plays grabs the listener in ways they never thought of.
Hailing from the Worcestershire town of Bewdley, Carrianne spent time abroad recently in which to stock of what she had achieved and where she was going musically. Now back in Liverpool it seems there is no stopping this talented and friendly musician. I was able to catch up with her at the University of Liverpool radio station as she prepared to perform a number of songs including the incredible Run Rabbit Run.
