Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

You can’t escape Christmas, it is as inevitable as a political gesture, it is as demanding as a court summons, and for some the meaning has become blurred, lost, sacrificed to the ring of the till and the steady heartbeat beep of the transaction.

Perhaps such things were always there in the background, and so by contrast we have made the most of them, we have allowed the need to be replaced by want, that we are showing love through the showering of money, and not in the belief of the joy of artistic pursuit and the natural state of sharing a common endeavour of the sparkle, the glistening interaction afforded the time of year.
