Live Review: Dream Wife – Liverpool
Dream Wife The Magnet, Liverpool, October 12th 2017 Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Graham Smilie I’m a bit older than the kids at gigs today, so I don’t know if they have scrapbooks and memory boxes. But if they did (and I’m sure at least the quirky ones rebelling against social media will have), this gig … Continue reading
Festival Review: Bluedot 2017
Bluedot 2017 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina I’m not into science, or space, – my science teacher at school was mean and didn’t engage me in the slightest with the subject.

Live Review: Dream Wife – Liverpool Music Week
Dream Wife Arts Club, Liverpool Music Week, 1st November 2016 Words: Cath Bore Photos: Elena Katrina It’s a curious line up for the penultimate Breaking Out night for this year’s Liverpool Music Week.
