With a string of stellar acts set to take Liverpool by storm this week, Getintothis Craig MacDonald thinks Donald Trump should heed his words.
Liverpool has long been a city proud to artists from across the world. From our own incredible acts, to those from further afield, our city could possibly be Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.
For if the walking ass hat took a moment away from belittling woman and his plans to build walls, he could possibly have a moment of clarity if he were to walk through our streets this week. For where better then here to show him that people from all genders, religions and races can work together to make beautiful things?
So if be some miracle, you are reading this Donald, get your merkin shaped head out your colon, have a read through and see what your missing.

MØ: Arts Club, October 18
In part responsible for one of the biggest selling songs of recent years, Danish pop pixie MØ will be making her Liverpool debut at the Arts Club this week.
Described as electro with guts, the singer will be playing plenty of her latest cuts as she gears up to the release of her sophomore album this year. Support comes in the form of electro rockers Nimmo and Halem.
The Shipbuilders
CC Smugglers: Studio 2, October 19
Working their way up from playing street corners to some of the biggest stages in the world, is no mean feat. But that is exactly what the captivating talents of sextet CC Smugglers have done.
With their contemporary twist on folk winning plenty of plaudits, you can see what the fuss is about at Studio 2 this Wednesday, where they will be joined by Tom Seal and The Shipbuilders.
Scott Fagan: Music Room, October 19
Heading to the Music Room this week with his classic album South Atlantic Blues, Scott Fagan was at one point tipped to be the psych-folk version of Elvis.
Fifty years on and in some circles many would say Fagan is the true King in his arena. With Stephen Steinbrink and Entrance also on offer, this is a midweek treat not to be missed.
We Are Scientists
We Are Scientists: Arts Club, October 19
Hitting the Arts Club as part of their extensive UK tour this week, We Are Scientists will have all the tools to make an almighty clatter on their return to town.
Five albums in and over a decade in the game, the duo show no signs of slowing yet., so get plenty of rest before this.

Four Tops and The Temptations: Echo Arena, October 21
Liverpool and Motown are swiftly becoming musical brother and sister, with the latest set of legends to visit us coming in the form of the iconic Four Tops and The Temptations.
If you want to see musical legends, then get two for the price of one at this whopper down at the docks on Friday night.
The Wicked Whispers
The Wicked Whispers: The Buyers Club, October 21
Psychedelic offerings don’t get much better then the sublime cuts that The Wicked Whsipers are able to deliver, with seemingly effortless ease.

Invisible Wind Factory
The Black Madonna: Invisible Wind Factory, October 21
Arguably one of the biggest female names in dance music makes a much anticipated stop at Liverpool this weekend, as The Black Madonna heads to Invisible Wind Factory on Friday night.
The Chicago queen of the decks appearance at the Northern venue is second, of what is already looking a stellar series from the ENRG heads.
Teleman
Teleman: Leaf, October 22
Having blossomed from their acclaimed debut album, to the tour de force shown on their recent release, Teleman return to Liverpool this week to play Leaf as part of their UK tour.
The four piece bring smooth melodies of synth goodness that will get you grooving all through the night. With this long being a sell out, there is a real sense of yearning for this one.
