Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The maps that show the world the scale of the countries, the nations that fit into place, are normally completely wrong, at its most central point, the continent of Africa is so much more than is ever given respect for, not only in terms of its sheer size but its beauty, its endurance and its people. The same can be said for Scotland. Yes, from Shore To Shore its land mass is not as great as some, its near neighbour perhaps disproportionally larger in the ground it takes up, like an overweight, blustering man and his skinny put upon wife sharing the same bed, the strain on the relationship becomes too much. Yet Scotland itself is immense, it’s heart and soul is everything, and in its art, its stature across the board, is phenomenally endearing.
