MOJO Liverpool has long been recognised as one of the best party bars in the North West, effortlessly cool, but without pretence it provides the perfect soundtrack and surroundings in which to sip its sumptuous cocktails. On Wednesday the 18th of August, in association with Wray & Nephew White Rum MOJO is serving up a real treat in the form of DJ Derek… The legendary Bristol DJ whose blend of reggae, dub and ska has made him an icon for many in the industry, including a host of Jamaican producers and Massive Attack. Derek isn’t your average turntablist – a former accountant in his late 50s (at least!) with a major cardigan habit, Derek kindled his love for music as a washboard player in the 1950s; nevertheless he continues to blow away audiences with his unique selections.
DJ Derek is supported on the night by Liverpool Reggae, Ska and 2 Tone Upstarts ‘The 10 Of Spades’ and legendary Leeds based DJ ‘El Gnomo Moonstompio.’ Best of all… and we’ll say it again, it’s FREE!
This is sure to be a special night of Rum and Reggae, and Wray and Newphew will be on hand to serve up some ’specials’, so don’t miss it! For more information please contact tom@lazy-genius.co.uk

Matthew Street Festival 29th & 30th August
Featured in Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool Music Main Feature Things to see and do in Liverpool
Oh dear, has a year really passed since the last Matthew Street Festival? Time to look in the mirror on this inevitable slide towards mid-life crises, expanding waist-lines and balding… and that’s just the cover bands…
Yes, the 18th Matthew Street Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever. Taking it’s place alongside Liverpool SoundCity and Liverpool Music Week as Liverpool’s premier band showcases, the Matthew Street Festival will also roll out the world’s best cover bands beside Liverpool’s hottest up and coming original musical talent. The focus of the 2010 fest will be the decade of the 70s, so you are under strict instruction to pull on those platform shoes and don those afro wigs for the August bank holiday weekend… though you wouldn’t catch Hatters Liverpool indulging in such exhibitionist acts; no, no.
There is a Live-Aid stage, announced to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Bobby G’s one-man crusade to rid Africa of starvation and this will feature – of all things – a Status Quo cover band (Stayed as Quo – ho ho, what fun), a U2 cover band (Elevation…hmf) and EVEN a Boomtown Rats cover band (The Rats) – quite what they will play other than “I Don’t Like Mondays” 10 times is a cause for intrigue in itself. There is also the 70s stage featuring more artists who paid no mind to Mama Cass , namely: “Too Rex”, “Roxy Magic” and, “The”… wait for it…”Rawmones” – yikes, I think that one actually touched on Hatters Liverpool’s young, raw nerves.
But it’s not all adequate reimaginings of old favourites, or graveduggery, if you like – The Matthew Street Fringe is setting out to champion all things fresh and new in the shadow of the main festival. Cool hangouts like Studio 2, The Shipping Forecast and LEAF are delivering Liverpool’s bright, pale young things on that same weekend. Keep an eye out for CLAUDE @ Studio 2 on Friday 27th August, which has We Walk In Straight Lines and The Moguls headlining. Seel Street will also be a hive of activity and overrun by camera crews taking part in the Fringe 48-hour film challenge, with a £250 prize on offer for the winning crew. See http://www.mathewstreetfestival.org for more details.
So, there you have it. This is Hatters Liverpool signing off with an obligatory: please book your stay at Hatters Liverpool early if you seek to avoid a dose of that pesky disappointment that this young man knows all too much about.
Until next time.
