The latest
Foyle's War Filming in Liverpool City Centre
IF you are out and about in
and around Liverpool you are bound to see a film crew or two, on
most days, but as of late one of the most noticeable is the film
crew shooting the latest television series, of Foyle's
War. The latest Foyle's
War follows on from World War
II and is about a British detective. The screenplay has been created
by screenwriter and author Anthony Horowitz, and was originally
filmed in Southern
Ireland and parts in London,
but in November 2013 was announced that the popular period drama was
to be filmed in Liverpool, bringing in millions of pounds to the
local economy. As filming now takes place on the 9th series of
Foyle’s
War, Liverpool is being made
to double as London. As it nears the end of the 4 months of
shooting, keep an eye open as some of the bigger scenes are now
being shot. Pictured here for us by Dave Evans, from Bond Media is
the actress Honeysuckle Weeks and actor Michael Kitchen, as the
Brunswick St was closed off for filming and dressed as pre-war
London. Transmission is anticipated to be in 2015.

Peter Gabriel to
perform iconic album 'So' in its entirety –encore!
FURTHER UK shows announced;
tickets go on sale Friday, 25 April 2014, at 9am following the
phenomenal response to the recent:- 'Back to Front'
tour dates. The latest honoured musician to be inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Peter Gabriel, has confirmed a further
series of:- 'Back to Front' arena shows in the UK,
coming to Arena Liverpool on 7 December 2014.
It is testament to the enduring appeal of Gabriel's 1986 album that
the 'Back to Front' tour has caught the public
imagination so strongly once again. The new shows will continue to
feature the original 'So' live band (bass-wizard Tony
Levin, guitarist David Rhodes, keyboardist David Sancious and
drummer Manu Katche) and span Gabriel's illustrious career,
including a performance of 'So' in its entirety.
"We serve it up in three parts; like a meal. The starter will be an
acoustic bit, almost like we would be in rehearsal mode. From that
acoustic starter we move on to the savoury dish, which is electric
or more electronic stuff. If you survive that, then you get your
dessert, which is the complete and uninterrupted album of 'So', in
the order in which it was originally intended." said Peter
Gabriel.
As well as celebrating the 'So' album the tour has also been
an opportunity for Peter to play some new material live for
the first time. Tracks like:- 'Daddy Long Legs' and
'Show Yourself' (from the film Words with Gods) both
featured regularly during the 2013 tour to fantastic audience
reactions. The theme of showcasing new material, alongside the old,
is sure to remain in the forthcoming shows.
Peter Gabriel is offering a unique opportunity to go 'Behind
the Scenes' and view the Back to Front tour sound check for
the upcoming shows. Only available in very limited numbers from
Peter Gabriel's official website, this is the chance to buy a
special fan experience - a front row or a premium seat ticket, an
