LIVE: Jane Weaver @ Liverpool Sound City 24.05.15
During the sound check, Jane Weaver berates a band member for some minor transgression. She certainly looks like a stern headmistress. Once the music starts, she appears to lose herself in it: which has always been my policy. The band…

For those who don’t live in Liverpool, Leaf is a teashop. It combines two of my many obsessions: tea and music. Ergo, it is one of my favourite venues. Sipping a nice Gunpowder tea, a few tables back is an…
