Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
It is arguably the vulnerability of the heart, the moment of exposure in the defenceless feelings that hit us when we are most frail, most delicate, that have the potential to bring out the very best in us; either we dig deep into reserves that we had no idea existed or we allow Time to beat us, we allow sentiment to become glory, idealistic and tangible but instead an offering that those we grieve for would see as insubstantial.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The poet, whether armed with guitar, piano and possibly even a generous loving violin or the thunderous confident tones of well oiled and lubricated voice, with expertise is able to take a moment from the past and turn into something that can border on the exquisite, or crushingly, to filled with future optimism that it loses its buoyancy, its grasp on the real and ventures unwittingly into the absurdist fantasy beloved of the broken and bemused.
