We are delighted to present an evening with 
Budgie
 
who joins us to discuss his long awaited autobiography  
The Absence - Memoirs of a Banshee Drummer. 
As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' became one of the era-defining drummers in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Growing up in working class St Helens in the 1960s, Peter Clarke lost his mum as a young boy and it's her 'absence' that haunts the pages of this book. Disenchanted with art school inLiverpool, Peter became Budgie and befriended the likes of Jayne Casey, Holly Johnson, Pete Burns, Bill Drummond and other luminaires of the legendary Eric's' Club, before taking off for London and the big city heat of punk. Budgie's unique technique and musical sensitivity endeared him to the all-female group The Slits, who asked him to play on their debut album
 
Cut.
 Subsequent touring with former members of the Sex Pistols and others from the post punk aristocracy firmly established Budgie's reputation for innovation.
But the beating heart of this painfully honest and frank account of a life often sabotaged by substance abuse and alcoholism is, of course, his long-term position as Siouxsie and The Banshee's drummer and co-writer alongside ex-lover, and ex-wife, Siouxsie Sioux. In the Banshees and seminal side project The Creatures, their creative partnership produced some of the most seductive and celebrated pop music of the decade, from 
Juju
, through 
A Kiss in the Dreamhouse
 to the salutary valedictory album, 
Peepshow.
 Eventually, their personal relationship started to fall apart, with inevitable consequences for both bands. 
The Absence
 is brave and unflinching in its dissection of how and why this happened. Angels emerged, many of them female, to show Budgie that a mother's lost love can be replaced.
A man and musician whose creativity and singular style came to define the goth-pop 1980s as much as any other individual, Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a tawdry cautionary tale. For the first time the story of this most exalted and mysterious of bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast.

安菲爾德球場

安菲爾德一直是一個不錯的體育場。科普把氣氛推向了另一個看台。現在,他們兩個站已經延長了,我擔心氣氛可能會消失,特別是在上層的密封,但經歷了幾個座位的位置,我不得不說它一如既往的好。可能是歐洲最好的體育場之一。多年來,外觀也得到了很大的改善,我們做了體育場之旅,非常好。每個角落的音頻之旅。😃

我不是披頭士迷，但是經過這次遊覽仍然會被他們的傳奇故事所感動。而且發現，有些耳熟能詳的歌曲，竟然是他們寫的。欣賞lenon的才華，更喜歡麥卡特尼的溫柔與克制。適個不錯的遊覽地。

利物浦大教堂

這個教堂外表平平無奇，進入裏面之後真的會被驚艷到，一進去就感覺很漂亮，裏面超級大，建議周日來，這裏每周日都會有唱詩班，可以跟着本地人一起祈禱，感受一下氣氛
