To take stock of the week just gone and look ahead to Liverpool v Southampton, John Gibbons hosts Andy Heaton, Sian Bennett and Craig Hannan.
Also on the show, we go back to what was a busy weekend for the city with three pilot events taking place in the form of ‘The First Dance’ presented by Circus at Bramley Moore Dock on the Friday and Saturday, as well as a concert in Sefton Park on the Sunday, as Liverpool gears up for life after lockdown.
To reflect on all of that and discuss what is next for the city as COVID restrictions continue to ease, John speaks to Claire McColgan, the Director of Culture Liverpool; Matt Ashton, the Director of Public Health; and DJ Lauren Lo Sung who was the first performer at the event on the Friday.
