Mathew Street Music Festival is here again, taking over Liverpool city centre for a long weekend of rock and roll ribaldry.

There will be six stages across town presenting a broad spectrum of music. From 60s classics to Chas n Dave via a Smiths tribute band, I kid you not. There is also the Mathew Street Fringe, featuring original bands performing indoors.

For full listings for Sunday’s and Monday’s performances, plus all other relevant info, visit the official Mathew Street Music Festival website. Or you can read a comprehensive round up of the weekend’s activities over on the Art in Liverpool blog.

Don’t forget to stand on the Ley Line that runs down Mathew Street.

Liverpool Chamber invites you along to a fab day out at Haydock Racecourse on 26 September 2008.

We’ve got a limited number of tickets for you to enjoy a day of luxury and light flutters, based in the sumptuous Davies Suite.

On arrival you will be served with refreshments, giving you time to study form and pick your horses. A brisk walk around the racecourse is sure to give you an appetite for the four course lunch served by an experienced banqueting team and award winning caterers, which will end in plenty of time for the first race of the day. Halfway through the excitement of an action-packed afternoon, full afternoon tea will also be served to provide a break for those who need it!

Liverpool Chamber of Commerce invites you to take advantage of this superb offer specifically designed for business people and their guests. The event provides an opportunity to enjoy a fantastic hospitality package at great value, whilst doing some serious business as well. Gentlemen must wear a jacket and tie and ladies are encouraged to dress up for the day.
