PREVIEWS
GIG
VLURE
15/06 - Future Yard
Vlure
Hotly-tipped Glasgow five-piece VLURE make their Merseyside debut
with a socially distanced show at Future Yard. The post-punk noisemakers
dropped single Shattered Faith on Permanent Creeps records in
2020 and promise to continue their ascent with a confronting mélange
of synthy hooks, dub sensibilities and forthright lyrics. Future Yard has a
comprehensive social distancing policy offering a safe experience to giggoers
as the last of the Covid restrictions remain. These shows precede
a busy season of gigs commencing at the venue in August.
CLUB
Sasha
25/06 - Invisible Wind Factory
After the success of the Bramley Moore Dock pilot test shows, Circus continue to make up for lost time with a special night at Invisible Wind Factory this month. House stalwart
SASHA headlines with a four-hour set, with locals JAMES ORGAN and LAUREN LO SUNG reliably bringing the beats in support. Taking place across the two floors of the venue,
LOLIFE and SIAN BENNETT also join the party. North Wales native SASHA has an international reputation but has sustained ties with the North West, making this the ideal
booking as we emerge from lockdown onto the dancefloor.

EXHIBITION
The Last Bohemian: Augustus John
Until 30/08 - Lady Lever Art Gallery
This brand-new exhibition showcases around 40 works by one
of Britain’s most iconic and controversial artists. Having moved to
Liverpool in 1901, the new exhibition explores his time in the city
which greatly influenced his life and career. Often described as
bohemian, John’s paintings were uncompromising and famously
captured the true character and personality of each sitter. Taking the
spotlight, Lord Leverhulme’s infamous ‘beheaded’ portrait examines
the extraordinary events that provoked Lever to destroy his own
portrait and when leaked to the press, caused outrage and protests.
