Un-Convention- Salford, Manchester 4/5/6th June 2009
Un-Convention 2009 is a not for profit grassroots led music conference for DIY and Independent music makers and companies. Born in Manchester in 2008 as an alternative to the more mainstream In The City event, it has already inspired Un-Conventions in Belfast and Swansea and future events in Glasgow, London, Barcelona and Reykjavík. This year’s UK national event in Salford will have a range of key musicians, bands and industry personnel in attendance.Purgatory
Purgatory
The story of five ghosts trapped within the grounds of the St Lukes church - supernatural struggle between spectres and their fates
Original short pieces have been devised to explore the dark side of our spiritual nature. The performance is held together by an environment of sights and sounds that will turn the church into a cauldron of menace.
The setting provided an amazing opportunity for time and place to meet the needs of the darkness of imagination. St. Luke's, or the bombed out church, has been both a major meeting point and crucial reference within the city for many years. It has also been a magnificent cladding for the more adventurous flow of Liverpool life.
The interior of the church, inaccessible for a long time, has now become a setting for community and culture, thanks to the imagination and drive of Urban Strawberry Lunch, who are managing the location and the events that occur inside. Its history and austerity are the perfect setting for a selection of ghost stories told through music and theatre and involving some of the most respected artists in both Liverpool and Manchester.
The Purgatory project is led by Frakture who have been at the forefront of promoting avant-garde music projects in Liverpool for several years. Leading Frakture musicians will be working alongside invited guest musicians and actors who share a fascination with classic psychological horror.
This will include original pieces created especially for the night from Liverpool's innovative
and electrifying aPAtT, and Manchester's hauntingly atmospheric Mayming. Both of these bands have been recently involved in major multi-media projects, and will provide a unique musical and visual edge to the theatre.

Africa Oye announce dates
Break out your Picnic gear as Oye warms up.
Every year I promise that I'll get my blanket ready and head for Sefton Park for Africa Oyé, but every year I turn up and have to sit on the grass but not this year (I hope). I'll also have to make sure I turn up early so the queues at the food stands aren't to long but there is plenty of time as Africa Oye 09 is on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2009 - 12:30pm-9:30pm on both days and it's Free
Settee Council Video Archive goes online
"Some of it is still funny even today, other bits are just shit "
The Settee Council back catelogue is going online. The roughly described theatre company produced a number of so called plays early this century which were performed in unusual venues on tours around Merseyside.
Video footage has been unearthed and now we are able to bring this to you via the marvel that is the internet.
Who can forget such classic lines such as "Do you want to go and feed the ducks?" or "I said to Che" along with other more memorable lines.
You may have been in the audience for the memorarble performances on the Ford Estate, Garston Community Centre, The Masque, the Finch and Firkin and Toxteth Town Hall, if you were the Settee Council offers it's sincerest apologies and advises you not to view the material as they can not be held responsible for the consequences.
A spokesman for the Settee Council said "yeah we did a number of plays mostly based around the one idea - now we are going to put all that video that the bloke at the back of the room was filming on the internet. Some of it is still funny even today, other bits are just shit. But is a good opportunity to embarass my old friends."
