Liverpool Dance Scene Disaster

And The Beats Goes Off
There is a myth, a myth it must be said among many others, that Liverpool has always been a progressive home to dance music, that its clubs have been somehow instrumental in bringing about a vibrant dance scene both locally and nationally. As someone who's clubbed in Liverpool and Manchester for the past 25 years or so, I must admit that I've always found Liverpool's music scene to be very insular, conservative and well, just not very good. The reasons for this cannot be reduced to any one single cause, yet in part I think it can be traced all the way back to Merseybeat.

This sounds
suspiciously like some sort of advert to me (albeit one where the hyperlink at the bottom is spelled incorrectly)
Longest. Blog Post. Ever.
Hold the front page
not so much a post more an essay.
Read the FAQs
You windbag, with peace and love ;)
spam?!?!
and a bad essay at that! apologies - as a new member I thought that this space was for members to link blog entries from their own sites - didn't realise it got posted up on the main site - looks like I'm trying to be a smart-arse now dunnit? anyway quadrant park on ice is in production with pete wylie starring as mike knowler's dad.
No offence meant
As there were links and references to another site, I assumed you were plugging something commercial.
As for misunderstanding how creating content goes, you're not the first!
You might want
to proof-read your links in future: www.swinegazine.co.uk doesn't work, while www.swinemagazine.co.uk (inspired guess on my part!) does...
Oops!
Missed Joe R's first comment. That's another thing to watch for : has someone already made the point you're making?
I'll forgive you. . .
for your fine nick alone.
(Rule 1: "My blog" isn't actually; it's everyone's. It's Old Lewry the caretaker's noobtrap and seldom fails. He roasts an inedible animal to celebrate every time someone falls for it.)
An honest mistake then
Excuse my caustic comment. Just an excuse to make my silly Ringo based joke and practice the blockquote thing (my first time).
No offence meant either
Just said it was an essay, not a bad one.
Great name though, as Archie says up there...
Mr Lewry is on holiday, he tells me (via email). I told him we don't pay taxes for him to take holidays but he didn't reply. He either took offence or is eating a badger.
It's
The latter.
2 points
I gave up after a couple of paragraphs but,
1) Chuck Berry and Little Richard were bigger influences on The Beatles than the Everleys.
2) Your handle suggests there might just be a slight anti Liverpool bias.
