Year in Review – 2019

Posted by John W. King | Tuesday 17 December 2019 | News & Previews

I’ve had a genuinely amazing 2019 having attended some of the best gigs of my life. It’s not that there are suddenly lots of new bands around, most of my best gigs were bands that have been around for a while. The difference is that I’ve made more effort to go to gigs, even when they are in Manchester. The Liverpool to Manchester railway was the first inter-city passenger railway in the world, opened back in 1830.

The Woodentops + The New Chapter @ Live Rooms, Chester – Review

Posted by John W. King | Tuesday 12 November 2019 | Gigs

I haven’t been to Chester for a gig in about a decade, and tonight was the first time I’ve been to The Live Rooms. It’s located literally 2 minutes walk from the train station – which is useful when you’ve got to catch the train back to Liverpool after the gig. The 11pm train gets into Lime St at 11:45, but the next train, the 11:22pm gets in about 3am! I got down there for doors opening, and the bands were still sound-checking so I thought I’d get myself a pint. It’s a really decent venue. First up were...
