This Girl and her Kicks

   Just before Christmas I ventured to Manchester as a christmas present from the Mr. I took  my aunty, who'd come down for the festive season, to her first gig, a Liam Fray acoustic gig. What a treat. For those of you who don't know, Liam Fray fronts The Courteeners, a Manchester indie band with a huge following and massive tunes, the kind you wanna be swigging cider to at a festival in the beaming sunshine.

    Way back at the beginning of October, I attended possibly one of my favourite gigs of the year. Tucked round the corner from Bumper, myself and a few friends hobbled down the cobbles to The Pilgrim, which was bursting with punters and friendly faces eagerly awaiting the nights gig put on by Rogue Gallery Promotions.  After grabbing our pints we headed up the iron staircase to the even smaller room and settled ourselves in what space we could find. The Pilgrim is a cosy little pub, with wooden booths, long benches, cheap drinks, complete with its own sheltered beer garden. Upstairs is even smaller, so for you claustrophobics and people who suffer from anxiety bare that in mind,  but do not let it put you off, it creates the perfect gig atmosphere, one you do not want to miss out on, ever.

  Soundcity is a concrete Jungle of absolute madness and sheer disarray for a first timer  and there are certain things you're gonna wanna know before you venture into it,  with these trusty top tips, (i've had experience for 3 years now) you're gonna be able to walk around town with your head held high and your feet racing in a mad rush.

   Right these past few weeks have been absolutely hectic, with many triumphs and commiserations, all for good reasons though, which is all for another chinwag! I am happy to announce This Girl and Her Kicks has bagged herself a press pass (delegate pass, as it were) for Liverpool's Sound City, meaning I'll be reviewing the whole weekend especially for you! 

Yes, that would be correct, Patrick Wolf is coming to Liverpool. Organised by the fabulous Everisland Presents, who have  put on amazing shows in The Kazimier and Kazimier gardens such as Rural Disco and the fantastic summer Kazimier Garden Gathering, this is sure to be a delight.
