Monthly Open Mic Poetry Night At The Jacaranda
It is often said of Liverpool that many of it’s inhabitants are unaware of the variety of cultural events that occur regularly. Last year I went to my local pub for some much needed refreshment after walking around Light Night. When I began talking to one of the regulars about what I had seen his reply was “I didn’t know about that. It wasn’t well advertised was it?” This seems to be the case all…

Chaophraya; Incredible Edibles From Revamped Menu

However on Thursday last week, there I found myself at the exclusive launch of Chaophrayas first menu revamp in over 3 years. I don’t know what I enjoyed more – the incredible edibles, the stunning surroundings or the open-armed staff who ensured…

Is DIY The New Black In The Liverpool Music Scene?
Sam Meaghan from The Pentatonic returns to Liverpool Noise with a guest feature examining the growth of DIY on the Liverpool music scene.
