Bob Log III at Drop The Dumbells: Preview
Bob Log III is an enigma. In the early 00s there were rumours (largely put about by an already increasingly dumbed-down NME) that the man behind the mask was an errant Stroke. Initial press releases also told tales of a bluesman who owed his lightning fast picking style to a monkey paw, grafted in place of his real hand after a childhood accident. Whether you like to picture an aging Casablancas sweating under the visor…

The curious tale of a local man’s alleged alien encounter has been turned into a book by a Liverpool author
Ask any group of Ufologists who holds the dubious honour of being Britain’s first alien abductee and it is likely that the name James Cooke will emerge from the majority of their lips. Not to be confused with the 18th Century explorer James Cook (no ‘e’), this James Cooke hailed from Runcorn and in September 1957 claimed he had been taken by aliens to the Planet Zomdic. “I’d been brought up in Runcorn and fascinated…

Mutant Vinyl – ‘Kick The Reel’ EP Review
Image Credit: Alice Conway Photography This may sound slightly strange – but I have sometimes viewed music as in terms of night and day. What I mean by this is that to me, some music evokes the night, while others the day, For example, “Happy” by Pharrel is a massive sun-shiny day of a song; “Riders of the Storm” by The Doors is definitely of the night. And Edwin Pope’s latest offering under his Mutant Vinyl…

Introducing Dockside Dining Club – Liverpool’s newest food hall

Klee Acoustic Night @81 Renshaw Street: Review
Probably Liverpool’s premier small venue, 81 Renshaw Street, played host to the first Klee Music Acoustic Night. This isn’t your normal acoustic evening, as there is a twist. Okay, the musicians all play a thirty minute set, but then they come together for the evening’s denouement, to perform two more songs as a trio, but also to perform a cover of each other’s songs. This was probably the first time each musician had heard a…

It’s fair to say that the comedy scene has been historically male dominated but women are fighting back (like we always do) and proving it’s not just a male sport.

And that’s where we’ll introduce Laughter Locker – a monthly comedy night held at Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre Bistro. Established…
