Tess Parks
While smaller scale gigs are at a premium this week, the city welcomes Fusion Festival and Getintothis’ Simon Kirk has all the details.
We hope you’re enjoying your Bank Holiday Weekend, thus far.
There’s always a bit of a lull after Bank Holiday and this week’s no different.
Fusion will dominate the talk around the city and rightly so. Granted, not all the music is geared towards Getintothis readership, but the calibre of acts set to take the stage at Sefton Park is a fine coup for Liverpool as a whole and for that reason, should be celebrated accordingly.
While quieter than most other weeks on the gig calender, there’s still a few bits to pique the interest – not least Tess Parks at Phase One this Thursday and King Yellowman & The Sagittarius Band at 24 Kitchen Street on Saturday night. Less is more, as they say.
Those of you attending Sefton Park at any stage over the weekend – enjoy the show. However remember – don’t leave your rubbish behind and keep the park clean – lately it seems to be getting out of control and quite frankly, it’s not good enough.
Everyone needs to do more to ensure our public parks and surrounding areas remain clean. It’s not hard, so make the effort to pick up after yourself.
