Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

If you are fortunate, if your ears are clear after the end of year celebrations and the realisation that the following year is one to hopefully savour, one to embrace the call of nature as it sings and chirps beautifully in the hedgerows and on top of the nearest building as the winter sun hits the world and greets it with a smile. Regardless of whether it is the song of the brightest, purest dove or the tune of Small Brown Birds, what counts is your appreciation of the hymn being played out as the dawn and hope peeks out from behind its dying year curtain.
