News: 1911 Calendar Launch at Bluecoat Dec 4th!

It's a been a while since the last post here, but it's not because we're not working, far from it! Plans are being laid for the future of the Nerve Centre via many meetings, consultations etc and when the news drops, this blog will have it! 

For now, some news for the people involved with Nerve, and the loyal readers awaiting the next issue. On December 4th, at 6pm in the probably crisp evening, there will be a launch party for the 1911 Near to Revolution Calendar. No doubt there'll be the usual Nerve personages present, plus the chance to meet many more new people in the ever larger Nerve circle. 

In 1911 society was in ferment, a series of city-wide strikes shook Liverpool and radical artists rubbed shoulders with inspirational workers' leaders. Nerve's 2011 calendar celebrates this centenary through images and significant dates. Come along and see how Nerve, The Bluecoat and others will be marking next year as 'Liverpool, City of Radicals'!

Remember, December 4th, Bluecoat, 6pm...see you there!
