Goodbye and farewell 2018. Hello to 2019!
Photographs by Patrick Trollope.

AS a spectacular end to 2018 was beamed across the national and the world on TV, we where out and about in Formby and Southport to see how we welcomed in 2019.  2019 will be a hard year for many, but this did not stop the fun and games at the following venues we popped into:- Sorrento - Formby, The Lifeboat - Formby, Riva Lounge - Formby, The Freshfield, Tiger Bar - Southport, Le Grog - Southport, The Windmill - Southport and Sacrebleu - Southport.  Big shout out to both Emma Lousha, who was singing at the Freshfield, and also to Viva La Rebels, who where performing at the Tiger Bar, when we attended those venues. We will add the other bands name on here very soon, as we sadly don't have it just yet. So how did you bring in 2019? We would love to know. Please email us to:- News24@SouthportReporter.Com and let us know...  We where in Sacrebleu for the start of 2019 and shot this bit of video as they counted in the New Year...
