1 – Liverpool’s first earthquake since 2008

The first earthquake to hit Liverpool in ten years shook buildings and visibly moved furniture for around 10 seconds on Saturday afternoon. The epicentre was actually near Swansea, Wales but tremors reached our region, with hundreds taking to social media to spread the word far and wide.

Omg did not feel any earthquake here in Liverpool…. I was too busy making cheese an bacon potato skins which were delish nommy nom!

Proving once again that us Scousers are unflappable, our Madge was too busy shaking her bacon- filled potato skins to be too concerned!

2 – Chinese New Year was the best yet

Three days of celebrations kicked off on Friday night with the first showing of brand new light projection, Jingwei’s Legacy, and ended in a spectacular firework show above the Imperial Arch in Chinatown.

And that was #ChineseNewYear in Liverpool – a full day of parades, performances, projections and pyrotechnics ⛩

3 – Cream Classical brought Ibiza to Liverpool

Our iconic Liverpool Cathedral was once again the backdrop for another stunning Cream Classical performance as ravers went mad for their all-time favourite Ibiza anthems. Returning for a second year, Cream knocked our socks off with a live orchestra, choir and incredible lightshow.

4 – Feel the Burn at Camp & Furnace

Liverpool’s singletons were treated to an old school anti-Valentine’s disco at the weekend as Camp & Furnace put on ‘Burn Your Ex’. A night dedicated to letting go of your dreading ex and letting the good times roll. Which is sound unless you walk in and come face to face with your ex, like our Kate did! Luckily she had forgotten to print out a photo! A boss night with proper old school disco vibes.

5 – DJ Lee Butler is Rave Royalty

Not content with putting on the biggest and best club nights across the North West, our very own DJ Lee Butler made his Sunday rave a family affair as Rave Royalty returned for another parent and child dance off extravaganza. Walton Hall Park Lifestyles Centre was chocker with Little ravers in their best gear ready to show their mums and dads how to throw it down.

Tickets for Reminisce 2018 are now on sale. The line up is looking amazing and we can’t wait to get back out to Sherdley Park to have it large.

6 – The Gloves are ON for Callum Smith

Team Smith Boxing offered it’s congratulations to George Goves following an intense clash with Chris Eubank Jnr on Saturday night, as Callum Smith prepares for his own World Boxing Super Series semi-final against Jurgen Braehmer on Saturday.

7 – The Royal Liver Building is bang on time

You just wouldn’t want to do this job would you? Suspended from the Royal Liver Building and responsible for putting the giant clock hands back in place and at the right time, is enough to give us full on jelly legs.
