Bumping up my blogging

So I have been blogging for years now and like many people I fall into and out of love with it depending on how I am feeling but I am normally in love with it but it doesn't always appear so because I am always posting in so many different places. nIt was only a...

That’s all folks – with tenantspin mobile

It was a delight to be asked to help tenantspin with their last live stream and their first in such a long time – when they made arts engagement projects they broke the mould after this one – I think it was less art and more Guerilla TV – over the years they had some...

A funny thing happened on the way to the Cultural Forum

It didn't, I just needed a title I could buzz off. A quick proviso – this may turn into a rant and there is to much history for me to go into too much detail, so you'll just have to take what I say as read or exaggerated slightly as the case may be – but hopefully...

Walking maps – and there uses

Here is a little map of my wanderings across Liverpool, it actually shows me nipping to the shop and then doubling back before I get to my destination. But is a great way of showing a walking route between 2 points, say for display on your website. A foot route from...

How Why Diy NING

With the advent of Ning charging for their service, actually i thought we were doing them a favour as we were drawing people into the site and their adverts - clearly that didn't pay for them though, i digress. Ning were going to start off by charging a small amount...

Ustream audio issues

I went down to The Liverpool Art Prize Launch at Metal in Edge Hill train station the other week and forced myself to have a go at Ustream'ing it. I tried to convince myself out of it but it didn't wash with me. I set up on a desk near the stage, cheap £40 camera,...

Save Sgt. Peppers – Liverpool cafe

It’s my own personal history project stretching back to 2007 – with hundreds of recorded interviews, podcasts and plays. This section of the site is pretty old so don’t expect it to work all the time and ignore it asking for Real Player to be loaded. 

So Listener beware!!! 

Take you pick from a selection of Liverpool audio guides, its musical history, heritage tours, slavery remembrance tours, and Visit England’s official guide.
