Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Cast: Claire Coull, Neil Summerville, Emma Ley.
Love is what remains when the world no longer makes sense, it is the spark in the fire of inspiration, it is the beauty in the chaos and anarchy that makes us give everything we can to those whose lives we cherish. Love is that moment when your breath is taken away by the person you see in pain, knowing you will do anything to stop it from continuing.

In the end all that we have to do must be worth it, our best is what defines us, our search to extend the reach of our soul must be fruitful, and as a consequence it has to commit to seeing life as more than a performance, it has to be passion personified, the light must resonate as deeply from within as it shows on stage.
A person of substance is all that we are required to be, but sometimes when the light falls and the music starts, we are dominated by the blackness that envelops us, we forget to shine, we misplace the element that makes us unique.

“…and what a time it was, it was…” there will never be another time like it, nor will there be another American Folk/Rock duo like Simon and Garfunkel, the combination of both the artistes and the time they captured the raw sensibility, the hope and eventual damage caused by a system that was determined to not let the world enjoy the freedom it had sought and fought so hard to win.

There is always a debate on whether it is the atmosphere, the songs or the venue in which the music is played in which gives the night its vibe, its sense of hopefully glorious thrill and heart pounding beauty; a night which if you are fortunate enough to attend will leave you breathless and on the verge of weeping tears of joy of having had the honour of witnessing unfold.

All through the fire we search for the ones that can ease our soul, that will lift our spirits in times when the winter dark threatens to overwhelm us, to consume us; it is after all better to surrender to the flames of passion than to shiver in the cold embrace of the unloved.

Spymonkey’s A Christmas Carol at the Playhouse Theatre, Liverpool. Photograph used with kind permission by the Playhouse Theatre and Johan Persson.
Cast: Aitor Basauri, Petra Massey, Toby Park, Sophie Russell.
Musicians: Ross Hughes, Marcus Penrose, David Insua-Cao.
High above the streets of Liverpool, almost within eye-line of the St. John’s Beacon that stands eerily out when the sea mist and fog attempt to cover the city in a sense of gloom and bone-jarring cold, a multitude of people gathered for a cause which has become arguably the most serious of concerns for a generation. The plight of the homeless, the shocking betrayal by our government of its people, a damning indication of what their priorities actually are, that is to cause distress and anguish and the hope that the privileged few back them to the hilt, that the majority left untouched by this disgrace will fall over themselves to walk away from the problem in the promise that they wring their hands in time with the sound of Christmas bells chiming and tills chirping.

The evil and wicked step-mother is stalking the land, seven forest-dwelling miners are set to become heroes and guardians of a princess in danger and the beautiful fairy will always have some power to make the day go with a band, a bite of an apple will hold the key to the throne and always a kiss will seal the fate of all, it is so decreed by the magic mirror and nobody should dare question the fair Snow White as she takes her place as the fairest in the land.
