Elmo And The Styx, Happy. Album Review

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Happy? Some people aren’t and some are, it’s a fact of life for every person who is truly ecstatic somebody somewhere must be feeling the damage of life lived, the pain of suffering or even the slightest niggle of annoyance. Whether it’s down to that underlying Human emotion of jealousy or greed, they will probably resent the person who is just content with their lot in the life. Happy? It’s a feeling that needs careful nurturing, it requires on occasion to be kept hidden lest black shadows try to destroy it but ultimately it can be the most fulfilling of all sensations and the rather interesting title of the new album by Elmo and The Styx

The Lantern Theatre on Blundell Street has reached a very special anniversary this weekend. The theatre, which has become a creative hub in Liverpool, celebrated its first birthday and in some style.

The Lantern Theatre has joined the likes of the Unity Theatre and The Actors Studio as being an important theatrical space for Liverpool audiences to watch decent and interesting theatre and quality music. Run by the hard work of mother and daughter team of Margaret Connell and Siobhan Noble, the salubrious and welcoming atmosphere of the theatre was given a heady and invigorating dose of celebration as the much deserved party got into full swing.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Igor Memic.

For anyone who was fortunate enough to catch Igor Memic’s production of Happy at the Lantern Theatre this year, not only was it a first rate play designed to make audiences think but it was one of the finest moments in surreal escapism that crowd would have been privy to see during 2012.

Igor Memic is an enigma, driven and destined it seems to go on and make the theatre a place where his name will be seen for many years. Igor was born in Mostar, Bosnia to a Bosnian mother and Croatian father. It is this exotic mix, combined with a love of London and Liverpool that makes him an impressive figure to talk to.

A perfect happy world where everyone is nice to each other and life is able to go down the path towards a serene future, it may sound like bliss, a state which we all strive…one that come with repercussions that the mood you feel is not one you that you have attained by natural means.
