Blues Halloween Ball and Malice in Wonderland, Don will be
premiering his latest creation; Barrington Fanshaw: Man of God.
Finally on Halloween night the Liverpool Philharmonic's Ensemble
10/10 will be performing a unique reinterpretation of Frankenstein!!
Conducted by Clark Rundell ,who gets the new 10/10 series off to a
flamboyant start, this is a Halloween event with a pop culture twist
as audiences prepare to enter the world of HK Gruber's
Frankenstein!! Straight from the maverick mind of Gruber this
is a tale of Superman's missing pants, rats turning into angels, the
mad Doctors and drunken waltz, even Elvis doesn't get off lightly in
Michael Daugherty's outrageous neon'n'chrome dance of death. North
West-based composer Ivor Hodgson turns a kindlier eye on the
classics in his brand new A Little Light Music, while back in 1923,
Edgard Varèse's Octandre sees it all coming with ice-cool clarity.
In addition to this stellar lineup is Brian's Bar; a stunning space
to relax throughout the day over a drink, pastry or savoury snack,
overlooking the hustle and bustle of Hanover Street and will be open
from 2pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday and houses its own programme of
events with exhibitions, live music and poetry evenings all in the
works.
There will also an exclusive member's only club.. The 11 O'Clock
Club, where the city's creative Industries can come together from

hive of activity at the Hanover Street venue.

RELUCTANCE OF PRIVATE
SECTOR TO BUILD NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS MEANS THE GOVERNMENT MUST USE
PUBLIC SECTOR
NUCLEAR Decommissioning
Authority should be re-tasked and re-named as the Nuclear
Development Authority to co-ordinate and drive a consortium to
develop the 6 new nuclear power stations needed says GMB. The union
for workers within the enuclear industry, have now commented reports
in the Financial Times that French nuclear group Areva and China's
Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation Holding (CGNPC) have walked away
from the UK's 6 gigawatt Horizon project. Gary Smith, GMB National
Secretary for Energy and Utilities, said:- "This latest news
comes on top of the news last spring that RWE and E.ON UK were
pulling out from the Horizon consortium. This reluctance of the
private sector to build the nuclear powers stations the UK needs
means the Government must use a public sector that built the UK's
existing nuclear power stations. GMB want the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority to be re-tasked and re-named as the
Nuclear Development Authority. It should co-ordinate and drive a
consortium to develop the 6 new nuclear power stations needed and
progress other initiatives for a successful nuclear industry. In the
UK we have the skills, we have the technology, we have the finances
and we have the sites. All we are lacking is the national will to do
what is needed to build these power stations." |
