I see Anthony Gormley has won the "competition" to have his artwork installed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square...........

He hasn't designed anything except a safety net as the plinth is going to be occupied by 2400 members of the public - each of them standing on the plinth for an hour, one at a time...............

:shock:

Jacob's crackers were also made in Liverpool :D - not sure if the factory is still open - Jacob's in Charnock Road, Aintree.
Liverpool is a grand place. I love the architecture, the people and it has a real buzz about it these days :D My mum still lives a few miles away from the centre of Liverpool, so I try to keep in touch with the place. I was there for work on Thursday and had a bit of a scout round some of the old haunts of my youth. There again on Monday :*: :D

I absolutely love Liverpool, always have. One of my brothers lived there for 20 years & I've spent a lot of time there. You soon come to realise that scouse jokes & stereotypes, whilst very funny, are well wide of the mark & in no way reflect my experience of a wonderful, friendly city that has also produced a lot of the music that I love the most.

I just hope Mr H heads here for our Capital of Culture year (before it's over) and we can arrange a scoot around the Iron Men on Crosby beach, a whistlestop tour of the 100 superlambananas and a pint at the Phil.

Liverpool is well worth a visit in 2008 for anyone within striking distance. So much happening.

A friend of mine Ron Davies has produced a new set of 'Another Place' postcards. He does lots of work with the Gormley statues. Top quality. Here's a few thumbnails to wet your whistle...

I don't think I've been to Crosby. I have been to Formby a couple of times to see the Red Squirrels. I will have to make a trip to Crosby sometime. I am determined to get to Liverpool this year, it is a magical place to me. We used to go on the train from Chester when I was a child and I remember the excitement of Christmas shopping there and the delights of the Deli the Lewis'. The waterfront is magnificent and the football team is not bad. :wink: I have seen some great games at Anfield.

The sounds of Antony Gormley's Iron Men on Crosby beach are to feature in a special concert. Sounds like a load of poncy arse, but p'raps I shouldn't judge before I've heard it.

Please welcome Matthew on todgers...

ANTONY Gormley’s iron men are set to inspire a special culture year concert.

The Spectacular Suburb takes place at the Bluecoat on September 13.

The project is a collaboration between Liverpool electronic music promoters The Hive Collective and world renowned sound artists Matthew Herbert and Chris Watson.

Together they have worked to create a new musical composition constructed entirely from sound recordings from Crosby beach – the site of Gormley’s Another Place installation.

The concert will be the third in a series of events from the Hive Collective for Capital of Culture year entitled Twilight City.

Hive’s Matt Smith said: “We’re really excited to have Crosby beach as a focus for this new work.

“The Gormley statues have brought a different focus to an already popular place, just like the Capital of Culture has to Liverpool.”

Matthew Herbert and Chris Watson have worked with the likes of Bjork, REM Yoko Ono and even Sir David Attenborough, but their collaboration on this project is unique.

A specially-prepared performance space in the Bluecoat will see Chris Watson explore Another Place and Crosby beach through a series of recordings he made at the waterfront earlier in the summer, followed by Matthew Herbert’s presentation of his new musical composition based on those recordings.

Mr Smith said: “As part of the project, Chris Watson also ran a sound recording masterclass for staff and students from Hugh Baird College in July.”

The Spectacular Suburb takes place at The Bluecoat in School Lane on Saturday, September 13 at 8pm.

Tickets are £7/5 from the Bluecoat box office on 0151-709 5297.

For more information on the Hive Collective, visit www.thehivecollective.co.uk
