Emilio Pinchi ‘Holiday’ EP Review

Nick Ellis Live at The Leggate Theatre
I don’t think I could have picked a more suitable venue for the launch of Nick Ellis’ latest album, “Speakers Corner”. The Leggate Theatre, nestled in the Liverpool University campus off Brownlow Hill, is steeped in history. It is a coliseum-type theatre, with steeped audience banking enclosing the performer, which, in inexperienced hands, could be distracting. Previously known as The Arts Theatre, it has hosted medical examinations, and exhibitions. Charles Dickens has lectured there. So…

With this in mind it is heartening to see a decent crowd here at The Invisible Wind Factory tonight. Over the course of…
