An equal match in any environment is one to savour, two prize fighters of equivalent prowess slugging it out in the ring, two suns casting their warmth with similar results on the planet and people below, an equal match is more than just resemblance, it is the way we appreciate the Parallel and hold it up as an example of twin virtue and excellence.

Celebration, we arguably don’t do it enough, or if we do then we do it for the wrong reasons, we find the excuse to congratulate almost anything and we often neglect the purposeful and the driven to our own cost.
It is in the resolute and focused aim that White Little Lies took to the stage at Studio 2, not even the spectre of November’s horrendous weather, the grey skies leaving its sternly fixed gaze over the Liverpool skyline could deter Daniel Saleh and Vanessa Murray from delivering a set full of mastery, poise and the squeal of delight from the audience.
Liverpool Sound and Vision rating 9/10

Some meetings appear pre-destined, it is just a wonder that strikes us all who find such things fascinating, on what kept the magic from happening earlier. It is a magic that is young in its infancy and yet one that seems boldly to go beyond its formative binding with fans, an enchanting experience that Daniel Saleh and Vanessa Murray have both grabbed with eager thought and spirit and found in a world hell bent on the big fib and the posturing falsehood, that the best avenue in which to reside is in the truth of White Little Lies.
