When there are no more Yokos left, it could set a dangerous situation spiralling out of control, for when the ethereal Muse departs the world and the shadow of disappointing average song is allowed to fester, the world will surely crumble into a artistic dust…whilst bands like Late Night Oil are around though, showing the way by whatever means of solid illumination is possible, the Muse will always have something to consider worth enjoying and to be seen dancing, swaying and rocking out to in the full glare of the un-dampened stage light.

The message of Hope is plastered without impunity everywhere you look and the thought of the displaced and the homeless being made to suffer such indignity in the 21^st Century is one that should cause society to feel absolute shame. Hope though is one thing that can never be taken away; in no matter what form hope should present itself, then hope survives.

As part of this year’s Hope Fest line up, a new hope for the ever growing pool of talent that Liverpool shares with the world is felt in the music supplied by Dan Wilson.

Back in March of this year the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool was treated to the re-emergence of one of its most favourite musicians in the form of Edgar Jones on the stage as he opened the evening for the musical colossus that is Dr. John, it was a return to which many in the home grown audience could, if propriety had been thrown out of the window, have wept with solemn joy at the sight. Many it was to be seen, were certainly on the verge of letting such stifling actions go and no one would have blamed them for being so honest and in touch with their feelings over such a talented man and his much missed voice.
