I realised the other day that I’ve been very lax at keeping the blog upto date, so although it’s a little early for New Year’s resolutions and all that, I promise I’ll work harder at keeping things upto date! With that in mind, here’s a couple of shots from last […]

‘The Engine Rooms’ in Skelmersdale is a refurbished warehouse, dedicated to music & arts tuition for the local youth. A bar, café, recording studios, tuition rooms and a stage area etc.. it’s exactly the kind of thing I’d have killed for as a kid in Skem. Decent enough lighting and […]
Festival season is well & truely upon us and, like buses, I was waiting for one and then two came along! Fresh from the Haighfest, last weekend I attended the Southport Rocks festival, held in Victoria Park, home of the famous Southport Flower Show. Now in it’s fifth year, the […]

I decided to take full advantage of a booze and BBQ filled Bank Holiday weekend to go and watch a band I’d heard a lot of good things about. ‘The Hicks’ are a 3 piece from Wigan who’ve been getting excellent reviews everywhere I looked, plus I’d already heard their […]
