Anybody remember one of the 1st wine bars in Liverpool....
that was in the Money Shop building in the pic
on the corner of Harrington Street... ?
(Yellow in the building)
Around 1975.. or there abouts..
may well have been the 1st wine bar in Liverpool..
the 1st I remember.. complete with jugs of sangria and all the trimmings.

not the Sportsman... choca block !
Supported many big bands and blew them away...
a few big bands would not play the same show as Supercharge
as they were that good and the crowd loved them...
They once supported Queen and Queen wanted them as their support on a world tour inc all over the states..
A well known mega loadsa dosh multi multi muuuuuuuuuuuuulti milliionaire record label owner would not back them financially so Supercharge pulled out..
Queen got Thin Lizzy at the last minute and Lizzy never looked back..
Never heard of them. Time for me to do a Liverpool trip methinks!
They were great. As Gerard says, they would pack a place out. Great band. :handclap:

The way your caught the sky in the first two pics looks really artistic, Gerard. Do you add your own tint on photoshop or something along them lines?

The pic of the garage was taken on a different day..
Cheers Kid... G...
No problem Gerard. I enjoy your slightly airbrushed photographs. Are you a professional photographer or just very good at your hobby?

I'm not a professional but I'm involved with all kinds going on around Liverpool...my pics have been exhibited and there's a few exciting things coming off in the not too distant future.....
One project involving my photos and a well known Liverpool personality...this will be a massive joint Liverpool history project and I'm really excited about it...fingers crossed. !
Anytime Gerard.Quote:

Good luck with your project.

Ken got one of his Echo colleagues to get in touch with me regarding doing an exhibition of my John Lennon related Liverpool photos...around Lennon's homes and schools etc.... the exhibition solely of my photos was supposed to take place last year but my friend Bill Harry could not make it so it was cancelled... they still have my pics and an exhibition of Liverpool Beatles related photos might be something for a future project.. !!!..
Thanks again Kid.. G...

More cracking Pics Gerard. Is that Frank Carlysle the Historian who used to talk on Radio Merseyside? I not listened for years (new job, different Radio station gets played) but I always imagined him to look older and look more concervative.

I've just spoke with him on the phone actually, I'll ring him back and tell him you said he's not old looking..

Boss photo's as usual Gerard mate. Nice one. :PDT_Piratz_26:
Actually, Gerard, what I like about those night time shots is that it makes me feel I am right there in the scene which says a lot about your camera work. Well done, mate.
Chris

The night pics are very popular for some reason...good job wandering Liverpool at night is my fave time for taking photos..
I love the peace, quiet...people going about their business coming and going around Lime Street....and the almost quiet Dock Rd area area with noises coming from the River Mersey..the smell of The Mersey at night...the smell of the dock road at night....the dimly lit streets on a foggy night, be it around Canning St area or standing on my own at midnight around the Albert Dock area....or outside the Stanley Tobacco Warehouse taking in the dim lit shadows and vast size of the place late at night....I'm in my element then Chris and there's nowhere I'd rather be mate...
Thank you again Chris.... :PDT11
Gerard.
A very relaxing time to take in the scenery at that time of night. I can see why you prefer that time of night Gerard. I like going to Pier Head when its dark and Foggy. Eerie but beautiful setting surrounds the Liver Building. I took a few photographs but lost all my pics when my old Laptop caught a Virus and had to wipe everything. Will have to open a Flickr account.
It is relaxing Kid, you hit the nail on the head...I find it very therapeutic being out and about late at night...Quote:
