Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

There has always been a mutual respect and understanding between the two great areas of the North that straddle famous rivers and who look out far beyond the shores of the counties they reside in. Liverpool and Gateshead, and the Scottish equivalent in Glasgow, have much in common, much to celebrate, not just in politics, in its sporting prowess and its resilient people, but in the way they both have been left to rot by successive governments since the turn of the 20^th Century but who are both shining examples of sticking two fingers up to the Westminster Empire and being their own unique city.
