A fantastic new exhibition has opened in Liverpool called ‘The Beat goes on’, an unbelievably comprehensive overview of Liverpool music through the decades.

Amsterdam (and Pele) are well represented throughout and we would highly recomend anyone with even a passing interest in Liverpool music to pay it a visit at the Liverpool world museum. It really is a brilliantly done exhibition.

More information is at www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk.

Anyone attending Ian’s first solo show on Friday at the Rodewald suite in the Liverpool Philharmonic will be hearing two sets, the first of which will begin at around 8.45. There is no support.
