Cult Of The Fox, Angelsbane. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

If you have to join a out of the ordinary following, then music has all the power it needs to make that following gather pace in such a way than the rather obtuse word trendy can express. This year has seen the continent of Europe really come of age when it comes to Heavy Metal, outshining almost all, with a couple of notable exceptions, that the natural homes of the U.K. and North America could hope to match and more so in the Scandinavian heartlands. Swedish Heavy Metal group Cult of the Fox greatly add to this growing reputation with their album Angelsbane.

Waiting For Godot To Be Performed At The Lantern Theatre By Big Teeth.

Live and affordable, Samuel Beckett’s classic Waiting for Godot is to be performed at the Lantern Theatre Liverpool on the 3rd and 4th of October. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Godot’s themes are as relevant today as they were then, or perhaps even more so.

Brought to you by one of Liverpool’s newest theatre companies, Big Teeth aim to tell their anguish of waiting by showcasing their unique interpretation of the existentialist’s Holy Grail of text. Normally, it costs a lot of money and a round trip to London to see such a piece but Big Teeth aim to bring classic texts that we read, study and discuss so often but rarely see, to your doorstep.

Top U.K. Comic Gina Yashere To Perform At The Epstein Theatre.

2012 was a momentous year for Gina Yashere. She witnessed the triumph of the London Olympics – O.K., from her couch in Los Angeles, but she still has much to say.

Jo Bywater, Chasing Tales. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Earlier in the year, Jo Bywater started thinking about recording more music once again. It has been just over two years since she released her astonishing debut album Cycle Grace Pulse Break and every day since then has seemed a little greyer. There has been the wonderful surprise gig in which to catch her at and relish in the way her songs nurse your psyche but with any decent performer, what the heart yearns for is new songs in which to enjoy and to know they are still actively in love with what they do.
