Walking in LIVERPOOL / UK ????????- 4K 60fps (UHD)
Liverpool / UK, famously the hometown of The Beatles, is a city in northwest England. This today modern city used to be an important port for trade and migration.
We start our tour at the central Williamson Square with the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre and Radio City Tower behind. First we make a little round towards the area with classical buildings like the St George's Hall.
Back in the central shopping area we head towards the Liverpool port. There at the Canning Dock and the waterfront we see further museums, statues and historical buildings. We visit the Beatles statue and enjoy the evening atmosphere further along the waterfront.
Heading back up the city we quickly see the Liverpool Parish Church gardens and make our way to where we started at the Williamson Square.

Silent Walking Around LIVERPOOL, UK ???????? (Part 1) - Wisteria Walks
Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, England. As of 2018, the population is approximately 494,814. Liverpool is the ninth-largest English district by population, and the largest in Merseyside and the Liverpool City Region. It lies within the United Kingdom's sixth-most populous urban area. Liverpool's metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the United Kingdom, with a population of 2.24 million.
Liverpool is on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, and historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the southwest of the county of Lancashire in North West England. It became a borough in 1207 and a city in 1880. In 1889, it became a county borough independent of Lancashire. Its growth as a major port was paralleled by the expansion of the city throughout the Industrial Revolution. Along with handling general cargo, freight, and raw materials such as coal and cotton, the city merchants were involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In the 19th century, it was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. Liverpool was home to both the Cunard and White Star Line, and was the port of registry of the ocean liners RMS Titanic, RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary, and RMS Olympic.
Liverpool is the seventh most visited city in the UK. It is noted for its culture, architecture, and transport links. The city is closely associated with the arts, particularly music; the popularity of the Beatles, who are regarded as the most influential band in history, contributed to the city's status as a tourist destination. Since then, the city has continued to produce hundreds of notable musical acts—musicians from Liverpool have produced 56 No. 1 hit singles, more than any other city in the world. Liverpool also has a long-standing reputation as the origin of countless actors and actresses, artists, comedians, journalists, novelists, poets, and sportspeople. The city has the second highest number of art galleries, national museums, and listed buildings in the UK; only the capital, London, has more. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City includes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street.[16] In sports, the city is best known for being the home of Premier League football clubs Liverpool and Everton, with matches between the two being known as the Merseyside derby. The annual Grand National horse race takes place at Aintree Racecourse.

The Beatles Live at the Playhouse Theatre in Manchester (1962)
The Playhouse Theatre, originally known as the Hulme Hippodrome, was built in Hulme, Manchester, between 1901 and 1902 and opened on 6 October 1902. It and the nearby Grand Junction Theatre, built at the same time, were part of the theatrical empire of W. H. Broadhead. The two theatres were connected by an arcade, at the centre of which was Broadhead's company headquarters.[2]
The Hippodrome presented mainly variety acts, while the Grand Junction concentrated on staging dramatic productions. In 1905 the names of the theatres were interchanged: the Hippodrome became the Grand Junction, and the variety performances were transferred to the new Hippodrome. Some time around 1929 the building was converted into a cinema, and was renamed the Junction Picture Theatre. It was sold in 1950 and converted back into a theatre, renamed The Playhouse. The first performance in the newly converted theatre took place on 22 January 1951, The Happiest Days of Your Life, a farce that had recently been made into a film. In 1956 the BBC bought The Playhouse as a production venue for radio and television shows, the first of which, a televised revue entitled Call It A Day, was broadcast in 1956. The last BBC production in the theatre took place on 25 August 1986. With funding provided by Manchester City Council and other groups, the building was subsequently bought and converted into an arts centre, now called the Nia Centre, which contains a 900-seat theatre.

I see water flowing up a hill 1
The blush of dawn
Fire blooming in the ruins
Salt for wounds 2
We never learn
We never forget
Mismanaged assent 3
The words of silent dissidents
Will make great art
Great art.
Pray on, pray on
The sin of indifference and
The glory of blame
A cool breeze of regrets
The dark warmth of shame
Downtrodden for decades gets you underground, underground
Hidden depths, secrets, walkways tunnels leading down and out, down and out
Pray on, pray on
Petrol on paving stones 4
The milk is burned / milk is burning / burning milk 5
And we have sea salt for your wounds
Scafold your defenses 6
Ballrooms and squash courts are burning 7
Turning
Into
Galleries and coffee houses,
Bistros and theatres
Cinemas
Tanning salons and betting shops
We don't know when to stop
Pray on, pray on
They are painting you pictures while you lie bruised and beaten down
They'll hang portraits of your wounds in great galleries for you
How beautiful the paintings will be
How good a riot looks with the film slowed down
How good that will sound
Free art, free milk for everyone
Free art, free milk for everyone 8
Pray on, play on
Pray on, play on

Out of Joint and Sydney Theatre Company present - The Convict's Opera at The Liverpool Playhouse.
The Convicts Opera voyages to the Liverpool Playhouse - 10 -14 March 2009
From two of the worlds most foremost theatre companies comes a hilarious new adaptation of John Gays classic musical The Beggars Opera. Stephen Jeffreys shifts the setting from the dirty underbelly of 18th century London to a creaking convict ship bound for Australia. In a co-production between regular Liverpool visiting company Out of Joint (Testing The Echo, King of Hearts, The Overwhelming) and Cate Blanchett and Andrew Uptons Sydney Theatre Company The Convicts Opera brings together an extraordinary cast of talented actor-musicians drawn from Britain and Australia directed by the renowned Max Stafford-Clark. With a score that beautifully combines the folk tunes of the original production with some modern musical surprises The Convicts Opera is a riotous theatrical journey which sets sail from the Liverpool Playhouse on Tuesday 10 March.
Bursting with infamy, intrigue, fun and romance, the classic musical comedy gets a fantastic re-imagining. On a ship bound for Australia a group of convicts are ordered to put on a show set in the criminal underworld of London that theyve left far behind. Cue stormy seas (and stormy scenes), reluctant cross-dressing and an incredible score played live on an eccentric combination of instruments.
Stephen Jeffreys who wrote The Libertine for Out of Joint and the screenplay for the movie version, recently filmed starring Johnny Depp, has written the adaptation of The Beggars Opera. Max Stafford-Clark brings this unique theatre event to life and brilliantly evokes the atmosphere on board together with a memorable musical arrangement from Felix Cross and choreography from John OConnell (Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom). The cast from both sides of the earth includes Glenn Butcher (Kath and Kim) and Brian Protheroe (Saruman in Lord of the Rings Theatre Royal Drury Lane).
