Culture Forum: Have Your Say

Grass roots organisations are under greater threat than ever before, as the council's budget continues to be squeezed, and priorities are shifted elsewhere. Culture Forum discusses the issues next week.

In the wake of WCS’s closure, a year of protracted arguments about noise in the city centre, and the Council’s new Strategic Framework Document (handily digested here) what’s the future for local, grass-roots organisations in Liverpool? Add your voice to the debate next week, chaired by the excellent folk at Bido Lito! and held in the ace new gallery space, Fallout Factory, on Dale Street.

Review: Papertown by YEP at Camp And Furnace

— An odd set-up and committed performances from Liverpool's next generation of theatre creatives make for something refreshingly different from the YEP.
