In Conversation Series Survey

We’re heading back to New York in a few weeks time to further develop the possibility of holding In Conversation events in the Big Apple itself! We’re thrilled that the series has proved so popular and look forward to announcing upcoming names and dates for Liverpool and other cities VERY SOON!

In the meantime we’d love to receive some feedback about the series – whether you’ve been to an event or not.  Everyone who completes the survey will go into a draw to win a fun goodie bag that we’ll fill with things that we pick up during our trip! A glow in the dark Statue of Liberty? An Empire State Building salt shaker? A giant box of Junior Mints? Who knows!

Thanks in advance for completing the survey! We can’t wait to hear from you!

A Wondrous Place Indeed!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Liverpool: Wondrous Place event at Threshold Festival.  This is the third time we’ve worked with Paul Du Noyer and we’re always delighted (as are our audience) with his limitless music expertise, facts and anecdotes!  Mike Neary was a superb host and Thom Morecroft and Natalie McCool thrilled festival-goers with spectacular performances of The Leaving of Liverpool, Dear Prudence, Wake Up Boo, Wondrous Place and The Power of Love.  Check out our pictures from the night courtesy of Brian Roberts.

Liverpool: Wondrous Place

We’re absolutely delighted to be collaborating with Threshold Festival this year to present Liverpool: Wondrous Place; a fantastic evening of music and conversation with Paul Du Noyer on Sunday 10th March at Camp & Furnace.

Music is the heart of Liverpool.  No other city in the world is as well known and loved for its vibrant musical history; nowhere else has produced more number one hit singles per capita.  Liverpool is a city obsessed with entertainment, alive with excitement and possibility.  Paul Du Noyer’s massively acclaimed book Liverpool: Wondrous Place takes us on a tour of Liverpool’s rich musical history, exploring the city through its atmosphere, personality and influences.

Featuring artists from Billy Fury, The Mojos and The Real Thing to Shack, Echo and the Bunnymen and Deaf School; the book also covers Liverpool’s poets, painters, playwrights, comedians and football teams; its Irish influx, the influence of the sea and seafarers; its civic disturbances and its politics.

In this must-see interview, author, journalist and editor Paul Du Noyer talks to Mike Neary about Liverpool: Wondrous Place, our uniquely creative yet notorious city and reveals why Liverpool is not just a place where the music happens, it’s the reason why the music happens.

Featuring live performances from Threshold favourites Natalie McCool and Thom Morecroft with tracks chosen from Paul Du Noyer’s ‘Top 100 Liverpool Songs.’

Paul will also be signing copies of Liverpool: Wondrous Place on the night. Copies of the book will be available for sale (cash only).

7pm start. Tickets £12 or £5 with Threshold Festival wristband.

Buy tickets online until midnight on 7th March. Threshold Festival will be selling tickets at Unit 51 (49 Jamaica St) Fri-Sun, 10-5pm.  Walk up tickets (subject to availability) will be available at Camp & Furnace (67 Greenland St) after 5pm on Sunday.

Local car park (off Jamaica St) is £3 per visit with no enforcements after 6pm.

New York, New York!

So we’re back from New York and what a trip! We braved the -8° weather and of course had bagels & coffee every morning, took hundreds of photos, ate huge deli sandwiches and took yellow cabs…but most importantly we had some really exciting meetings about potential work and events in the city, so watch this space! Now we’re back in the office drinking tea from our ‘I heart NY’ mugs and have lots to be getting on with including working with some fantastic new clients, and rebranding the In Conversation series!

Happy New Year!

AND we’ve been shortlisted for the 2013 Women in Business Awards in the ‘Best New Start-Up’ category…please take a minute to vote for us here! We look forward to having lots of fun with you all…do stay in touch!
