To the outsider, to those who either come into Liverpool once every year for a stag or hen night or the chance to lose heavily at Aintree, Liverpool may well seem a city of contrasts, a place in which many have pre-conceived ideas of how its people act, play, work and enjoy life. However to be an outsider who embraces the city and the surrounding areas with every fibre of being, that’s when the city really shows its vibrancy and complete uniqueness.

Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas, Theatre Review. The Auditorium, Liverpool.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
Cast: Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Paul Duckworth, Keddy Sutton, Gillian Hardie, Lenny Wood.
A different setting, a changed venue, can make all the difference between wildly incredible and drop dead tremendous.
For the second year running the area around the Echo Arena played host to Dave Kirby’s sensational and uproarious Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas and yet just to take it out of the main arena in which the echo of Christmas Day’s Past Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and Peter Gabriel songs were still bouncing off the walls and in which Deacon Blue’s soulful pop was still to grace, the Auditorium became a more natural staging in which to completely immerse one’s self into the world of Thomas Minge and his collection of oddities and workers with the most wonderful but very peculiar habits.

Scottie Road, The Musical. Theatre Review. Unity Theatre (2014)
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Cast: Keddy Sutton, Gillian Hardie.
When Scottie Road, The Musical was first performed it was genuine piece of Liverpool humour delivered by two of the finest female talents around. One sequel later, a vast swathe of the population who make it their duty to support local theatre, no matter the size of the venue, left feeling enraptured and laughing so hard it would make an ice bun melt, the two stars of the show, Caz and Britney, take the audience back to where it all started, where the music first played and the threat of prison was something that came along on a really bad throw at Monopoly and just as then as it is now, the audience fell completely and utterly in love with it all.
Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas, Theatre Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool.
Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10
Cast: Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Paul Duckworth, Gillian Hardie, Keddy Sutton, Lenny Wood.
Before a word is spoken inside the Echo Arena, before Andrew Schofield and Alan Stocks pass that wonderful look between them and the marvellous Keddy Sutton manages to bring her array of much loved admired voices to the table, just to know that these six amazingly funny and versatile actors are about to bring Dave Kirby’s work to life, there is already a broad smile on the audience who braved the December storms to watch Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas.

From Friday 10th to Saturday 18th January, the show which has been described as anarchic and surprising (Seen Magazine) and which Liverpool Sound and Vision gave a 5 star rating to, will see the return of the excellent Gillian Hardie and the outrageously funny Keddy Sutton as two superb comic creations Caz ‘n’ Britney, two Liverpool girls who wear their pyjamas and Ugg boots with pride and who make the most of high quality cuisine as they scoff their pasties and who burst into song at any given moment.
Mis Les. Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Cast: Gillian Hardie, Keddy Sutton.
With a song in their hearts…well, more of a set of tunes and harmonies that has been lovingly taken from one of the much adored musical of all time and which has had a treatment most befitting of satire and the huge comic embrace that only Keddy Sutton, Gillian Hardie and Homotopia could wonderfully provide.
