Emerging over twelve often claustrophobic but always engrossing tracks Holiday, the latest release from Port St Willow, is an album that grows on the listener in the same organic way that a lichen grows on a tree. You may suggest that to be a somewhat strange metaphor for the listening experience but Holiday is an album that takes a few listens to grow into and appreciate. There's a delicate, contemplative vibe to the production with chamber music like atmos and oceanic effects creating an environment t...

Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery has seen much in the way of upheaval and revolution since it's inception in 1877. From heated Union battles to bloody ambushes right through to it's use as a ration book collection point during the war it has a social value that shines through as you enter the elegantly carved entrance.
