Not only is Manchester the home of music as we know it and Liverpool the home of the true music wizards of the last century, Elvis apparently thinks so too and we have just got wind of two exclusive concerts that the king is playing next month
Aging has not mellowed this crazy guy as he celebrates his 75th birthday (happy birthday wherever you are) and he plays the MEN in Manchester on February the 26th and the fabulous new Echo Arena in Liverpool on March the 7th. Get your tonsils ready to warble for what promises to be the wierdest gig of the year. And sure you may as well stay with us and we can all sing happy pre army period Elvis songs and argue over his greatest movies (the cowboy one where he gets framed by a bunch of nasty bad cowboys would be ours)
and this one here? he was the funniest uh huh...
The snow is falling and the city looks gorgeous in white and if you are lucky enough you might be spending some quality Hatters time with us over Christmas if the snow falls continue. Liverpool Hatters hostel will be the cosiest place in the whole country and we might even have a snow sculpture made especially for you…maybe.
if you look closely enough you will see our mascot seagull...at the back there...see?
Liverpool city centre has been invaded by an army of penguins this winter, as a finale to the cities celebrations for the “year of the environment”. Following on from last year’s Lambanana spectacular, the penguins have been designed and decorated by local schoolchildren, artists and celebrities alike, and are proving to be a winner with tourists looking for a unique and exciting way to explore the city, as well as educating local children of the perils of climate change. As with the Lambananas, the penguins are featured as part of a wintry trail around the cultural hotspots, retail areas and famous streets of Liverpool. Trail maps are available at the Hatters Liverpool reception desk.
