Rock music and the city of Liverpool have been synonymous since the 1950s and the popular birth of the genre; but it goes almost without saying, the Merseybeat explosion of the early 1960s and the meteoric rise of The Beatles to superstardom, is what really put it on the Rock n Roll map. And yet, as any frontman worth their salt will tell you; musicians, are nothing without having reliable places in which to perform and play.

Liverpool in the immediate aftermath of the First World War was a deeply traumatized place, forced to undergo considerable challenges to its economic and commercial status as one of the world's busiest ports, the damage wrought upon personnel and society at large after the Great War was profound. Culturally such challenges were met by a return to opulence and decadence the likes of which, perversely, Liverpool had not experienced since the heady days of the 1880s; whether this be in the design form of lavish new ocean liners at the Pier Head, construction of palatial buildings such as Martin’s Bank, in the latest cutting edge styles, Jazz cafés, cinema houses rivalling theatres, fashion, art and a Lady Lord Mayoress, the 1920s and 30s were nothing if not contradictory. And then there was the Mersey Tunnel... Join us as we explore this fascinating and often overlooked period in Liverpool’s long and already storied history.

During the reigns of Henry VIII (1509-47) and his son Edward VI (1547-53) the religious scene in England was transformed. Henry broke with Rome but was cautious about reform of the church services themselves but on his death young Edward's ministers pushed forward a radical Protestant agenda. How did this affect the lives of ordinary people in England as the old certainties and rituals were questioned and abandoned?
