The city by The Mersey, a place known for its art, for its culture and perhaps most importantly of all, its individuality in the face of adversity, a personality trait it holds onto dearly as it finds itself increasingly having more in common with the likes of Glasgow, Dublin and New York than it does with Southampton, Dover and London. Liverpool is a place like no other in England and once more the art it chooses to see, the music it offers the country to listen to and the acts it welcomes into venues such as Zanzibar, Leaf, The Philharmonic Hall and The Echo Arena stands apart in its appreciation for many a wandering act.
