Jonathan Heyes
Liverpool Street Photography Exhibition
This body of work, studying the daily life in Liverpool’s city centre, offers the viewer an understanding of what we see and normally take for granted as we go about our daily lives.
The photographer’s aim is to introduce shape and composition in a low key manner reminiscent of the late 1960s ‘Provoke’ publishing house. The exhibition takes you through a series of black and white miniatures that capture life on the street during 2024.
28th September
The Keith James Songbook
Spanning the past 50 years, Keith has performed thousands of enthusiastically received shows in Arts Centres and Theatres throughout the UK. Thoughtful, interpretive concerts devoted to the writing of visionary Songwriters and Poets who he has always admired.
The success of these concerts has been such, that it has somewhat eclipsed Keith’s own material (which has mostly been heard on his 12 Album releases) so the writing and release of this new and significant body of work Word Paintings has given Keith, and those alongside him the confidence to open a door and let this treasure chest of original songs be heard.
The songs from Word Paintings, a stand-alone, much championed, new collection, are at the heart of this concert, set amongst the characterful and fearless songs from Can you imagine 2020, the vital commentary of Paradise lost 2019 and the poetic imagery of Message from the Gods 2017, even some songs that date way back through his music year career. The best collection of Keith’s original material in one concert
‘Anyone who remembers and longs for great songwriting, please listen to this’

The Jim White Trio with special guest Trey Blake
Doors 7pm
Jim White is a self-taught guitarist and singer who has seen a lot of life.
He’s been a European fashion model, professional surfer, boxer, preacher and dishwasher, culminating with thirteen long years driving a taxicab in New York City. It was during a psychological spiral at the end of those years that White crossed paths with David Byrne, who promptly signed White to a record deal.
There followed a succession of critically acclaimed solo records, appearances on major network shows like Letterman and Conan, plus several off-beat side project releases (Hellwood with Johnny Dowd, Mama Lucky, Sounds of the Americans)
His music runs the gamut – alt-country, indie pop, experimental music of various kinds. It is by turns deep, catchy, dark, beautiful, sad, and funny. Above all, he’s a brilliant lyricist and storyteller.
Many of his songs have appeared in film and television, (‘Word-Mule’ in Breaking Bad, and ‘Static on the Radio’ in El Camino, with Aimee Mann)
