Alternative

Liverpool "But an opera about the Adelphi? The bloody Adelphi?" -- (?)

Brilliantly snippy review of the Capital of Culture 2008 announcement from the new website Liverpool Confidential which I received an email about this afternoon (from someone called postman@liverpoolconfidential.com. Thanks Mr. Postman). It's a mix of restaurant reviews and commentary about the area and (obviously) a sequel to Manchester Confidential. Still early days although I'm very impressed that they've hired Angie Sammons of the late lamented North West Enquirer as editor, after her superb work in their arts pages. This could potentially be the alternative to the Liverpool Echo that the city needs.
