what's on in liverpool july 11-17

The tale of the Kingsway Three and their plan to teach that hoity toity lot (only kidding) over the water in Wirral a thing or two has packed them in since it was first shown at the Royal Court.
Now Brick Up The Mersey Tunnels' original cast is back for another dose of cross-Mersey mayhem, starting tonight.
On the Summer Pops front, McFly, Sharlene Spiteri, the Pet Shop Boys, Leonard Cohen, The Pogues, Squeeze, The Pretenders, Ne-Yo, The Sums, Nigel Clarke, Jersey Budd and Aswad are all on stage somewhere in the city over the next seven days.
On a different note (excuse the lame pun), the Phil's pops also continue with the chance to see the Dance Legends of the Silver Screen accompanied by the RLPO on July 15.
The RLPO is also playing at tomorrow night's Summer Ball at St George's Hall while Ry Cooder takes over its Hope Street hall.
Elsewhere there are new exhibitions at the Walker (New Radicals), Novas CUC (FIS - work by contemporary Irish artists) and The Royal Standard (EASTvideo), while comedian Russell Howard arrives at the Philharmonic Hall on Sunday. Unfortunately for anyone who hasn't yet secured a ticket it's a sell out comedy gig.
Comedian du jour Michael McIntyre is also playing at the Phil (on July 17), but tickets have also been snapped up like the proverbial hot cakes for his show too.
Neil Campbell brings his Ghost Stories to St Luke's, the bombed out church, on Thursday.
And finally, the Jolly Roger will be flying over the Albert Dock tomorrow when a pirate day is held with the promise of pieces of eight, treasure hunts and a grand battle at 3.30pm.
