Emmylou HarrisEmmylou Harris | Jim LauderdaleLiverpool Philharmonic Hall11th May 2026Delivering a mesmerising career spanning performance, Emmylou Harris begins her farewell UK and European tour at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. It’s a night of great music tinged with sadness as realisation dawns that this is her farewell.In a lifetime of gigs, some remain vivid in the memory while others fade. On a dank February night in 1976, I witnessed something truly special: Emmylou Harris and The Hot Band playing Leicester De Montford Hall on their first UK tour.

Several years ago, Paul Simon suddenly lost most of the hearing in his left ear, fearing he might never be able to play music again. And yet here he is at the ripe old age of 84, midway through a world tour fronting a 12-piece band, playing two sets every night. Having kicked things off at five-past-eight, he’s still onstage as the clock ticks towards eleven, fist-bumping the front row. Music, as we know, is a rejuvenating force. And Simon has staved off senescence by remaining curious, always searching for that extra chord, that perfect phrase, or stirring in some…
For a wrestler who still seems to have so much untapped potential, it feels almost absurd to think that Raquel Rodriguez has now been under WWE’s umbrella for 10 years. Big Mami Cool arrived in the old New York territory (albeit in its Orlando outpost) back in 2016, debuting in NXT under her government name Victoria González in 2017. Since those embryonic, Floridian days of her WWE career, Rodriguez has been announced as Reina González, Raquel González and, finally, Raquel Rodriguez, where she now serves as the Judgement Day’s muscle and Tag Title winning expert. After taking over Mami duties…
Starring: Jazmine Cornielle, Riley Whielan, Vikki Martin, and Gracie!A gripping, almost silent horror short.From its opening, Under Control is both visually and sonically compelling. In the horror genre, this is isn’t hard to attempt, but it is hard to do well, which this film absolutely does. Our un-named main character, played by Jazmine Cornielleis a 20 something woman living in what seems to be a big city flat, with her dog, is in the grip of what looks like an anxiety crisis.Which takes us to the underlying concept of this film: feeding what you are most fearful of, even tortured…

When Manchester alt-rock trioFalse Advertisingreleased their last albumBrainfreezein 2019, it felt like the culmination of five relentless years: SXSW appearances, festival slots at 2000 Trees (twice), a trusted team of label, manager and agent, and the kind of growing buzz most DIY bands dream about. Then, almost as soon as the record landed,everything stopped. The COVID-19 pandemic hit, touring vanished overnight, and the carefully built momentum around the band evaporated. What followed was a long, stop–start period of writing, self-doubt, lineup changes and quiet graft that eventually birthed their new albumThe Sorry Window– a record Jen Hingley describes as both…

Not every band can be pigeon-holed when it comes to their genre and they can either use that as a superpower or it’s to their detriment, leading to industry bods struggling to classify them and they never get the kind of audience they deserve. In the case of The Dead Collective, it’s not so much that you can’t stick a word before “rock” and get on with it. It’s that it would be doing the band a disservice because they’re such a unique band on the scene. In their few years of existence, they’ve garnered a small but devoted fanbase,…
