Liverpool International
Music Festival (LIMF 2014) - Part 1

THE second Liverpool
International Music Festival took place over 22 August to 25
August 2014, bringing 3 days and 1 night of fantastic Live Music
to Sefton Park, but that was not just it. The Opening of LIMF in
fact took place at St George's Hall, on Thursday, 21 August
2014, with a stellar line up, featuring performances from Boy
George, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Bernard Butler (Suede) and
Mark King (Level 42) to name but a few. This fantastic night was
made even more special as the performance was directed by no
other than Grammy award winning producer, Steve Levine...! We
sent photographer Jo
Forrest along to cover it
for us. After the event she said:- "An historic night in
an historic building... What a spectacular start to Liverpool's
summer festival!" The next events then moved to Sefton
Park, starting on a very cool Friday night, with live music on
the main stage, thanks to Classic FM. Performing was the Royal
Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, together with Ian Broudie and
the Lightning Seeds. The night started with a few viewing
issues, as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra opened,
but sadly the stage also had the Lightning Seeds equipment set
up on it, but it was not the view the public had come out for in
masses, but the Philharmonic delivered a fantastic first half of
audio delights. Then came the second half and what a
performance, that ended with cries of more and more booming out,
even louder than the fireworks that had illuminated the sky as
the last piece played. For those near the stage, the heat from
the flame throwers also warmed you up and looked impressive no
matter where you where located. As the name of the pyrotechnic
company says... 'Fantastic Fireworks!' A few clips of the ending and
also a segment of the second half are on our Facebook
Page.... Saturday and
Sunday were also fantastic, with lots to do and see, as it was
not just music orientated... Sadly, the last day, Monday was
badly affected by rain, ending up with the International Stage
being closed and moved into the Palm House. But on the It's
Liverpool stage, the Farm delivered a stunning closing set, to
those who braved the rain. On the main Stage, ending the live
band performances was the Foxes, and then close came with DJ
Fresh taking to the decks. So what did you think of this year’s
event? Email your views and thoughts to:-
news24@southportreporter.com.
As they say on the official website, the Festival is constantly
evolving, so who knows what is in stall for 2015, but we can't
Waite to find out! Well done to all the acts and also to
Liverpool Council for delving another World Class event. We have
been told that they have "booked good weather" for
next years and said sorry for forgetting to do it this year...
But I do not think most people who attended cared about the
weather, as the music and atmosphere was fantastic though out.
To find out more about the event on 2015 please do check out the
events
website, also do not forget to check out Part 2
of our coverage in next Fridays issue, as we will have some
suppresses in stall for you all! But for now please enjoy this

22 year old killed
rescuing her dog on Railway
THE British
Transport Police (BTP) were called to
the Fisherman’s Path level crossing,
located between Freshfield and Ainsdale,
just before 3pm, on 27 August 2014,
after reports that a woman died after
being struck by a train. The crossing is
an un-manned, manually operated crossing
and it is reported that the 22 year old,
who came from Glastonbury, had been
trying to rescuing her dog, when she was
struck by a train. BTP Police were last
night trying to speak to witnesses,
including the train driver. Her family
was also informed following the tragedy
and the incident was not being treated
as suspicious. The accident led to
disruption on services between Southport
and Hunts Cross for several hours after
the incident.
