Liverpool Calling Once More As St. Lukes Prepares For Space.

Having sold out across St. Luke’s Bombed Out Church and The Shipping Forecast in its debut year, Liverpool Calling has grown into a huge one day event for 2014, spanning across 10 city centre venues and hosting over 50 acts.

With bands such as Amsterdam led by Liverpool’s Ian Prowse, Obstacles, Orange Room, Vasa, The Shadow Theatre, the superb The Mono LPs and headliners British Sea Power creating a sensational day at St. Luke’s Church, it is no wonder the organisers of this tremendous event have ordered up another round but on an even bigger scale.

Liverpool Sound And Vision Special: An Interview With Ste Reid From The Mono LPs And Paula Stewart and Lee Burnitt From Tell Tale Theatre.

Music and video used to go hand in hand with each other, especially in the 1980s, where it was expected that a well-made video would give a band or artist a huge lift in sales. For anybody who was getting into music in the early part of the tandem craft, songs such as Ultravox’s Vienna, A-Ha’s Take On Me, Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Two Tribes, Marillion’s Kayleigh and Genesis’ Land of Confusion were as well remembered for their iconic videos as they were for the creative lyrics and supreme music.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

To hear the Mono LPs on stage at Eric’s on Mathew Street creating the type of penetrating and powerful sound as they supported Sandi Thom for the night, it might have blown you away and a lot of pre-conceived ideas about how an acoustic set works. Not only was it bouncy, brash and passionate but at one point it did look as though Ste Reid and Vicky Mutch, along with her cello were going like the clappers on stage.
