We’re continually outdoing ourselves on the old interviews.
We’ve had some of the best nights of our life there, met some of our best friends, and we will definitely give it the send off it deserves. There’s not a lot you can say about the Kazimier that hasn’t already been said, it is a true Liverpool institution and will be remembered in the same way as the likes of the Cavern and Eric’s. We’re looking forward to winding down over Christmas now, ready for it all to kick off in the new year, when sadly we’ll be losing our spiritual home in the Kazimier. So join us in reflection with our highs, lows and best of the rest and relive some great shows with our reviews and picture galleries. Looking back it has been a seriously good year for music on Merseyside, and we’re made up to have been there to see it all happen. We’ve all know it’s boss here for a while now, so it’s good to see the rest of the world waking up to it. Our festivals cleaned up at the UK Festival Awards, with the likes of Sound City, LIMF and Creamfields taking home the gongs, and more recently Liverpool’s reputation as the capital of pop was boosted by receiving official City of Music status from UNESCO. It’s been a great year for Liverpool music as a whole, with accolades and awards coming from prestigious places all over the world. All We Are, Stealing Sheep and Outfit all released great albums too, cementing their statuses as major players on the scene, and we’ve also enjoyed discovering some rising stars, with the likes of Louis Berry, Holy Thursday and the Night Café announcing themselves as serious ones to watch. To see Hooton Tennis Club grow from their early demos and Shipping Forecast support slots to touring the world, headlining the Kazimier and releasing one of the best records of the year on Heavenly Records has been a real fairy tale story and one that we’ve loved following every step of the way. We’ve covered more than ever and been spoilt with some of the bands that have come to town this year, as well as getting to see the emergence and rise of some of our favourite Merseyside bands too.
But as the saying goes, time flies when you’re covering a thousand gigs a week.Īlright, that be a slight exaggeration, but if you’re a regular reader you might have noticed how big a year it has been for music in Liverpool and for Getintothis.
Is it that time again? It feels like about five minutes since we were last writing one of these things. As we close 2015, Getintothis’ Adam Lowerson, Shaun Ponsonby and Paul Riley collate a comprehensive selection of the highs, lows and best of the rest from an action packed year.
