This month I have visited the wonderful exhibition at World Museum Liverpool, William Brown Street, by the artist Taki Katei. Unknown to me until I visited the exhibition, I stepped into what I could only imagine as a calm Japanese courtyard filled with Cherry Blossom trees and beautiful ink drawings around me. Looking at the artwork I was fascinated to discover the journey this artist had been on from a artist coming the Japanese countryside to become an artist held in such high esteem that his work was displayed in the Imperial court. The artist taught many students in the…
A performance as magical as an actual night under the stars. I felt like I was every where that the characters were transporting us to in the story. Especially in the first sequence when they first interact in a camping trip. I actually felt like I was under the stars with them. There was something very magical about that first part of the story when their lives first intertwine. The stark contrasts between both characters personalities make for compelling viewing as it’s fascinating to see how they change and grow through their lives. It’s a very interesting timeline of 3…

Manchester’s notorious mythmakers WU LYF burned fiercely, briefly at the beginning of this decade. They played kiss-chase games with the press before coming to an abrupt end after just one album. Bound to happen really, no one can be too cool for school for long. More positively, in the wake of the split it emerged bass player Tom McLung hid his light way deep under a bushel during his WU LYF tenure. His subsequent solo EPs, under the moniker Francis Lung, showed depths and imagination from a very skilled songwriter indeed. Home recorded and lo-fi they might have been, the…

I love the tracks that we’ve put out but if you haven’t seen us live yet then you really haven’t experienced their full force. Our live shows come with a reputation with good reason. 2.) When creating the songs how do the lyrics influence the music, or vice versa? The lyrics…
