tardy but turning over a new leaf

I realised the other day - well, to be honest it was pointed out to me - that I hadn't updated this blog in a while.
Things have obviously changed a little since I started Culturechat. Capital of Culture has been and gone, and so has my "culture reporter" title.
But it has been replaced by the moniker of Arts Editor, a job I (also) truly love, and therefore this blog is going to be getting a revamp.
It will still be called Culturechat, and that's still what I am going to do - just with bells on.
I hope to bring readers plenty on news, all my reviews, recommendations for the week ahead, a rundown of the forthcoming month, and yes, behind-the-scenes gossip too.
The blog will be promoted on my weekly Friday arts page, and of course I welcome feedback from you the reader about the topics I post, what you are interested in, your own reviews of shows you've been to and what concerns you about Liverpool arts in this post-2008 world.
So welcome to first-time readers, and welcome back to those who've been here before.
I'm kicking off this new dawn with a look at this week - what's going on and what I recommend.
