Friday 10th September at The Nerve Centre.

It's Friday 10th September, and if you should be going anywhere, its The Nerve Centre! If you're still in any doubt, let me tell you what's going on...

From 12pm to 2pm, we have another movie showing, and today it's No Impact Man. Trailer below...



From 2pm until 3pm we present poetry and discussion from Eleanor Rees and Dave Ward. Eleanor Rees’s Andraste’s Hair presents Liverpool as a fantastical city while Dave Ward’s Where The World Begins focuses on the dockers’ Strike. 

Then, from 3pm, Carol Laidlaw leads a discussion on who makes laws, how they work, and how people can use them to to challenge injustice. 
(Update: Unbeknown to me, Carol was unwell so couldn't make it. So, no discussion occurred! Sorry for the inconvenience if you turned up and were disappointed.)

If this doesn't tempt you inside, then check out the events lined up for our - cue the violins - last day on Saturday 11th. It'll be a grand send off so make sure you're there!

The Nerve Centre Interview: Liam Brayd.

The Nerve Centre has been and most definitely will be host to many talented and outstanding artists doing their creative work, and on the the very first night, when much open night wine was consumed, familiar faces met and a catalystic event launched to the masses, Liam Brayd was one of the many artists who performed his work for the many people present. Be warned, this interview is very *to the point* in the best possible way. Show your love for Liam Brayd, and read his responses to my impassioned queries below:

The Nerve Centre: What does The Nerve Centre mean to you?

 

Liam Brayd: A demonstration of freedom of creative expression in an accessible, public place.

TNC: Any highlights of the exhibition so far?

LB: The live entertainment on the opening night.

 

TNC: What are your influences when crafting poetry?

LB: I write about my life’s experiences living in the city.

 

TNC: I was in the audience for your performance on the opening night and every eye in the room was on you. What reaction do you seek when performing?

 

LB:  Exactly as you observed. I seek all eyes and ears.

TNC: You're performing again on Sunday 5th September with some friends. What can we expect from the set and who will be your friends?

 

LB: Poetry about life in the city, Liverpool and all cities around the world. The similarities are in the detail of the individuals lives. That is my inspiration. My friends will be both real and ethereal, some present in body, others in spirit.

TNC: Any last words for The Nerve Centre until we see you there?

 

LB: The Nerve Centre must be strong, truthful and triumphant.

 

Liam would like you all to know that he is teaming up with fellow poet/singer songwriter Tom George, (who also appeared at The Nerve Centre), on Wednesday 15^th September at 8pm, at The Dead Good Poets Society, in The 3^RD Room, Everyman Bistro, Hope St. Liverpool. This will be an amazing event, where the best of Liverpool’s poets will be present. A night not to be missed!!  You heard the man, get on down there for a night to remember!

Thank you Liam for your brilliantly concise answers, and see you soon at The Nerve Centre!
