John Williams, Gig Review. The Cornmarket, Cornmarket Acoustic Festival. Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Watching John Williams perform, no matter the setting, has the same feeling of contentment thrust upon you as someone giving you a five star hotel room for the weekend and charging you only a pound for the pleasure. As he stood with guitar in hand and the guitar/violinist of choice, and with Elizabeth Kearney from Nighthowl by his side, the moment of absolute enjoyment was stretched out and unfolded at a rate that would reflect the day, laid back but with the sense of history being made and for that John Williams gave a near exemplary performance in which all assembled revelled in.

Nighthowl, Gig Review. Camp And Furnace, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Liverpool in the sunshine, for that matter in any weather, is a wondrous place and when the music gets its look in the summer haze it becomes even more special. The sense of history that emanates across the city is captured in how music can appear seemingly anywhere, from somebody picking up a guitar and heading down to the docks and giving the visitors an extra reason for enjoying their day out or even when it features heavily at a craft fair in a building that not long ago was more suited the grind, dirt and steel, the imagery of the dark satanic mills never too far away.

The Cornmarket Acoustic Club in Liverpool Continues To Enthral And Entertain.

During the day, the streets that surround and hem in the business quarter into a hive of monetary activity, is awash with people going about their trades in the hope that the next big thing will come along and kick start a beleaguered and flat-lining economy. So many companies going bust and making more and more people unemployed and yet the pain goes on and the money continues to be looked for. Liverpool is better placed than many cities and towns in the U.K., for one the streets of the city also carry the hopes of the artistes, musicians and actors, painters, prophets and poets in a way that is unrivalled by any other city.
