St. Michaels and Lark Lane Community Association

The community hub in the old police station in Lark Lane, Liverpool. They organise youth clubs, facilities for senior citizens, flea markets, self help groups, healing days and so much more. They even loaned us a ladder to fix our roof (thank you Rupert).

The Octogon

A fine little literary blog with lots of interesting suggestions for reading and places to visit.

The Lark Lane Wiki

Part of the Liverpool wiki that you can edit yourself.

Our favourite other bookshop in Liverpool. This is where you will find the books outside of the mainstream, with the  politics and interests abhorred by the Daily Mail, the Express and Rupert Murdoch (may God rot his soul). Very good site for links to alternative activities in Liverpool and Merseyside.

The Flâneur, official website of La Société des Flâneurs Sans Frontières (Liverpool chapter). An Open Forum for Anarcho-Absurdists, Revolutionary Sybarites, Alchemical Hazardistas and Urban Arcadians everywhere.

Nerve Magazine Magazine focussing on the grassroots art and culture on Merseyside. Just take a look at the arts goodies on offer.

They say:

CATALYST MEDIA (producers of ‘Nerve, our magazine is a 32 page arts, cultural and social issues magazine.) utilises and develops underused talent and resources in the creative communities on Merseyside. We develop the skills of new writers, journalists, photographers and artists, helping them to promote their work through our magazine and website.

We think:

What a great magazine. If you live in Liverpool and the surrounding area and have a brain you should be reading it. Terrific for events.

Some Youtube fun, unfortunately good comedy is often based on reality
