Graham Holland, the man behind the It's a Frog's Life podcast, the Liverpool Acoustic Podcast and co-hosts the Made in the UK music podcast has been busy - very busy from the looks of it- now he is going the whole frog sorry hog and appearing live at possibly the best acoustic music venue in the city - View Two on Mathew Street. 

Late last year, Graham gave up some of his valuable time to contribute a weekly programme to the Art in Liverpool FM project which ran from September through to November. He is no stranger to producing great content tough, in fact he has been podcasting since July 2006 and has "enjoyed every minute of it" he says.

Futuresonic announce 2009 dates

Furturesonic 2009 Manchester's own digital culture and media festival will be taking place on 13-16 May, Manchester UK
 
Transforming Manchester's city centre into a place of experimentation, making it come alive.  As in previous years Futuresonic has 4 strands Art, Music, Ideas and EVNTS.
 
There have been some fantastic venues, gigs, exhibitions and conferences in years gone by, so in it's 14th year this one should just be getting into it's precocious teenage nature and be really kicking. Last years had a great conference venue with Contact with many strange conversations about the shape of thing to come. North West based Soundnetwork had a tent pitched in the car park, a cafe come sonic experimentation venue, where you would be whispered to from across the room. Fingers crossed they will be there again with their - audio strangeness.    
 
Find out more about the festival or better still find out more how to take part visit www.futuresonic.com 
The North West TUC is holding this event on Saturday January 24 2009 at the Novas centre on Greenland Street, Liverpool starting at 10 and finishing around 5pm. The aim is to debate the links between art and culture and collective campaigning and action and look beyond Capital of Culture '08.
 
There will be a very varied programme of speakers conversation film and music. There is no charge for the event, but places need to be booked in advance - to book email - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Radio Grenouille: Broad and narrow

liverbird in liverpool kit in foregroundwith a brown rain cloud over 3 GracesAs part of Cities on the Edge - Radio Grenouille from Marseille uses radio as a space for communication, performance, creativity and social change.  They have moved their operations to Liverpool for the duration of Coming and Going and they'll broadcast into and out of the streets of the city from the foyer at FACT.  Their programmes will be an mix of music, sounds, voices and recipes from Liverpool, Marseille, Gdansk, Istanbul and Naples. 

They've invited artists from all 5 cities to send a sound postcard of that place and, in Liverpool, are working with Tenantspin, a Liverpool-based community TV channel, to develop a bigger audio picture of the city.  Alongside the usual ways of listening to radio, Radio Grenouille will be narrowcasting to locations across the city: shops, restaurants, galleries and public spaces will all become listening locations playing CDs of their broadcast.

See listening locations here. Monday 17- Friday 21 November, 4.30pm-6.30pm

Come and meet the Radio Grenouille every evening in FACT during their broadcast.  Free.  FACT, 88 Wood Street, Liverpool L1 4DQ
