Live events

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.

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. […]
