David Swift

 to hear all about their latest releases, 
Scouse Republic
 and 
The Mouthless Dead
.
Scouse Republic:
 Liverpool is a unique city within the United Kingdom; its dialect, hedonism, friendliness, rejection of 'Englishness' and, most pertinently, its politics, all make for a rich cultural landscape. Yet, many of the things that make Liverpool the city it is today were not always at the fore. Furthermore, the complexity of the city, and an investigation into all aspects of its past, has not been readily available - until now.
In Scouse Republic, David Swift expertly tracks the city's transformation from a humble village to a central component of the transatlantic slave trade and one of the most important ports in the world; from a stronghold of working-class Toryism to a bastion of left-wing politics, and analyses how the two manifest today. Swift interrogates the myths surrounding the city, offering a fully rounded perspective that considers both Liverpool's triumphs and tragedies, cleverly demonstrating how its remarkable evolution has added to the city's distinctive status. After all, in order to understand Liverpool, we need to understand its idiosyncrasies - all of which are key to comprehending modern Britain today, particularly in relation to racism, empire, deindustrialisation, immigration, popular culture and more.
Interspersed with personal anecdotes from Swift, who was born and bred in Liverpool, Scouse Republic is the untold history of one of the UK's most iconic cities. Brilliantly researched and deeply compelling, it illustrates that there is far more to Liverpool than meets the eye.
The Mouthless Dead:
 One night in 1931 William Wallace was handed a phone message at his chess club from a Mr Qualtrough, asking him to meet at an address to discuss some work. Wallace caught a tram from the home he shared with his wife, Julia, to the address which turned out, after Wallace had consulted passers-by and even a policeman, to not exist.
On returning home two hours later he found his wife beaten to death in the parlour. The elaborate nature of his alibi pointed to Wallace as the culprit. He was arrested and tried, found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang, but the next month the Court of Criminal Appeal sensationally overturned the verdict and he walked free. The killer was never found.
Fifteen years on, the inspector who worked the case is considering it once more. Speculation continues to be rife over the true killer's identity. James Agate in his diary called it 'the perfect murder', Raymond Chandler said 'The case is unbeatable. It will always be unbeatable'. And on a cruise in 1947, new information is about to come to light.

這是一趟朝聖之旅，作為一個利物浦球迷。這趟旅程不管在別人心中如何，在我心中就是滿分💯。尤其是有過球員通道，看到這裡是安菲爾德的牌子時，心潮澎湃。而站在球場那一刻，閉上眼睛，我就能想到比賽日這裏的人聲鼎沸。

利物浦披頭四樂團故事博物館

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。

利物浦座堂

Yushanshan

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
