BREAKING NEWS: ACCESS ALL AREAS
26 August 2009 Loose have secured funding for 5 years thanks to the YPF2 grant from The Big Lottery Fund.

This will pay for 4 part-time Youth Music Workers (more info soon) plus a big contribution to running costs.
In practical terms it means we will have heat and light in the building (hurrah!) and right from the start regular weekly Music Workshops will be up and running.
Young people can meet up, hang out, rehearse, help organise and run their own gigs, and importantly take part in shaping the project.
There will be opportunities for performing, recording, film-making, DJ-ing, learning to play an instrument, learning to use the equipment (sound engineering, lighting, recording, etc).
Exciting times indeed.

*Facilities and events at The Studio are not restricted to Under 18s - with your help we can make this a brilliant live venue for all local musicians, grassroots theatre, touring bands... a hub of creative energy, a veritable platform for popular culture, and somewhere to take refuge from the harsh realities of Life...

LIVERPOOL ERIC’S

 

All the best clubs are downstairs,

everyone knows that…

At last: A great big fat book about Eric’s ­ starring the people who went there as regulars, worked there, formed bands and played there: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Wah! Heat, The Spitfire Boys with Budgie on drums and Paul Rutherford on vocals, Pete Burns… and of course Jayne Casey in Big In Japan, whose line up included Bill Drummond, Dave Balfe, Holly Johnson, Ian Broudie, Clive Langer.

Roger Eagle started Eric’s club in Mathew Street with Ken Testi in October 1976, soon joined by Pete Fulwell, but the book goes back in time before Eric’s to include Deaf School, Supercharge, The Liverpool Stadium, and the days of the original Cavern Club…
