The International Pop Overthrow is one event that shouldn’t be missed, regardless of where in the world founder and organiser David Bash takes it, it is a chance to come across the unexpected, the divine and the surprisingly brilliant.

The Cavern and the Cavern Pub have long had the honour of hosting Liverpool’s week of crowning new idols and loved musicians, of making new bands to admire and urge on. Amongst them is the fascinating duo of Helen of Mark Luker, or as they are better known as Fun of the Pier. It is a duo that gives an awful lot of pleasure on stage and one that really should have a bigger following.
