Bido Lito!

December 2011 issue - out now

In Issue 18, we catch up with BILL RYDER-JONES on the release of his new orchestral album If... after 16 months of work on it; SALEM RAGES introduce us to the riseof doom-punk; LOKA divulge the themes and motivations that have driven their second album, Passing Place; we take an in-depth look at the proposed BBC CUTS and the impact they will have on local radio, with views from Radio Merseyside presenters Stan Ambrose and Roger Hill, whose specialist shows are most under threat; and the vicariously-talented LIZZIE NUNNERY shows us another string to her bow as she talks to us about her latest play   . This month's reviews section is dominated by a round-up of this year's LIVERPOOL MUSIC WEEK festival, with highlights including BIG DEAL, GHOSTPOET, OUTFIT, SUMMER CAMP  and an incendiary performance from SEUNKUTI & EGYPT 80. Other highlights came from YOUNG LEGIONNAIRE, TOM VEK and DOG SHOW.
