“Bloody hell!” Probably not the best 2 words to begin a review…especially a review based on an incredible live event held in a church! However, those were the words that immediately fell from my mouth when I discovered a few weeks ago that Uli Jon Roth was playing a special one of a kind charity […]
Funny how life sometimes works out. You catch a song on the radio but can’t place the singer or the material, it’s a country soul number from the sixties/seventies maybe? So you check the playlist and find that its neither old or American, in fact it’s new and she’s straight outa Bristol. An hour later you […]
Regular visitors to our website will already be familiar with Monopoly Events and the great events they put on across the UK (if you haven’t already done so, then spend a few minutes reading my reviews of ‘For The Love Of Sci-Fi‘ and ‘Liverpool Comic Con‘), and of course myself and Thom sang their praises […]
I’ve always had a bit of a ‘thing’ for Hugh Jackman. You see dear reader, to me, Hugh is the perfect man. Handsome, manly, WOLVERINE, sensitive, can sing, can DANCE, a bit camp, funny, seems sincere, talented, charismatic, a complete package in more ways than one. The perfect man, because he could tap dance up […]
Has it really been 4 years since my Son and I attended the PLAY Expo in Blackpool!? With him much taller and myself much greyer, we set of to the Manchester Central Convention Complex for a fun filled day where 8 hours went by in a flash of gaming, laughing, buying merchandise, watching shows, and […]
Everyone here at 60MW Towers loves movies, music, video games, podcasts…in fact, all forms of entertainment. We also love discovering all of the above from creative artists that may hitherto have not been promoted by the mainstream press, and we find great pleasure from new/unsigned bands, indie video game makers and indie filmmakers. Luckily for […]
Now in its 5th year, The Manchester Film Festival played out from March 2nd – March 10th at the Odeon in Manchester’s historic Great Northern Warehouse. Showcasing over 150 films in a line-up made up of narrative and documentary features, narrative and documentary shorts, experimental films, music videos, animations and VR, this truly is a […]
After visiting (and absolutely loving) the Monopoly Events ‘For The Love of Sci-Fi’ convention last year (see review), I was looking forward to attending their Liverpool Comic Con, especially as Burt Young was attending and I could add to my ‘Rocky’ photo collection with him after meeting Brigitte Nielsen and Carl Weathers at the aforementioned […]
It’s been over a year since I first heard Kris Barras and loved his music so much that I put his song ‘Hail Mary’ on one of our Soundcheck ’em out shows for you all to hear (and buy). It’s also been over a year since I was last at our beloved Tivoli venue too. […]
Never having been to ‘For The Love of Sci-Fi’ before, things took a turn for the worse for me a week before the event due to personal circumstances and ill health. Despite already having booked my ‘Rocky 4’ photoshoot with Carl Weathers and Brigette Nielsen, it was touch and go if I could attend or […]
I've been to MANY Comic Cons in my life and @lauraisageek is by far my favourite host. Knowledgeable, informative, entertaining, funny, and above all else...passionate about what she does. twitter.com/ComConLiverpoo…
