Liverpool Urban Hair 2017
Photographs by Peter Bailey.

THE Liverpool Urban Hair Show was set up by Claire Namukolo, back in 2013. Claire has a unique way of looking at the art of hairdressing and fashion. After becoming a model, she experienced hair loss herself. She had to regain confidence and has decided to use her experience to help others. So this year's Liverpool Fashion Night Out aims to raise funds for and awareness of the Hair Heals Foundation which is studying the effects of hair loss in men, women and children.

This year's VIP event was held in Liverpool's Bar Signature, on 5 May 2017 and Peter Bailey attended for us and took few photos.

Commenting after the event, Claire Namukolo said:- "What a great night, the makeup team, hair and models, great reviews. We all did it for a great cause, we cannot thank you all enough for using fashion to raise awareness of hair loss and Hair Heals. Hair loss has devastating effects on victims such as a lack of confidence and withdrawal from involvement into social activities, Liverpool Fashion Night Out offers victims of hair loss and their families the opportunity to renew their confidence, get involved through modelling on the catwalk or volunteering throughout the event, opportunities that victims of hair loss would not otherwise be offered in the fashion industry. Our event is set to combine fashion with raising awareness and reducing isolation caused by hair loss."

If you attended, the models were gorgeous and so were the designs, but if you missed it, the next event will be held at Montford Hall, in the Liverpool Guild of Students venue, on 1 October 2017.

Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson's Podcast 'Now In Human Form' at the Epstein Theatre

THE comedy legend Bob Mortimer has teamed up with Andy Dawson to present:- 'Athletico Mince' live on stage, at Liverpool's The Epstein Theatre, on Monday, 29 May 2017. After 1 year, 41 episodes and over 5 million listens, Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson are taking their hit comedy podcast on the road, with a host of all new songs, stories, smart clothes, clear speaking and more. Following sold out shows in:- Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds and London, the duo will be now bring 'Athletico Mince' to Liverpool so don’t miss your chance to see them at the Hanover Street theatre.

What started out in March 2016 as an attempt to record a football podcast soon turned into something far stranger and more random after Bob and Andy realised that their footballing opinions actually had zero credibility.

Subjects covered each week include the lifestyle of former England manager Steve McClaren (including his love of beans on toast and the gastric struggles of his yellow snake Casper), Robson Green’s doomed attempts to meet Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez and Andy’s run-ins with a short tempered Jeremy Corbyn. In keeping with the overwhelmingly non-football vibe, the podcast has also included:- lifestyle hacks, domestic appliance tips and meat advice, as well as a campaign to build the world’s largest saxophone just off the A1, and a definitive guide to lifting up celebrities.

More recently, Bob and Andy have lifted the lid on the 'Gangs Of The EPL' the secretive bullying activities between various groups of Premier League stars. The live shows will feature lots of new material from the various hit features of the podcast, along with 1 or 2 surprises. Theatre manager, Rebekah Pichilingi, said:- "We are delighted to announce Athletico Mince at The Epstein Theatre. Bob Mortimer is well known as 1 of the best comedians around and we can’t wait to see this podcast bought to life on stage."
