Chris Callander, Gig Review. The Courtroom Cafe, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Life is too short, even if you take the care to go out as much as possible, to see the world, to throw yourself into the arena everyday and take Life out to spank every so often to show that it cannot dominate you, that it must not try to subject to its whim, you will still won’t be able to do all the things you believe are worthy of your time and effort. Time is cruel, there is so much to see, so much to listen too; however if you do one thing this year, of Time fights back and you can only make certain of doing one thing, then being in attendance at a gig involving Chris Callander is surely one to hang on.

Chris Callander, Ghosts Of The Old Casartelli. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Time has such an effect on the way we as a species perceive things that it is possible to feel part of two different eras at the same time. The human capacity for imagination adds much colour to the feeling of displacement that at times a certain sound or perhaps a headline in a newspaper or even the smell of a long lost lover can transport the person back to a place where they have no right to be, lost in the cacophony and melodrama of Time.

K’s Choice, The City Of Music Two. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The humble compilation album can take many forms. In now what seems at times the dim and distant past, as distant to the younger generation coming through now as Sir Edmund Hilary’s and Tenzing Norgay’s ascent of Everest to those growing up in the 1970s, the past when to have your say in music meant taking the pick of the songs you may have proudly bought or even embarrassingly hidden away due to the absurdity of the song and placed onto a C90 tape and perhaps even then handed over with much ceremony to the person you perhaps fancied, the compilation stood for something pure.
