Wednesday 12th: Halligan Lecture and Discussion

Ken's involvement in Liverpool stems from the Liverpool School of Language, Music, Dream and Pun, so I'm really looking forward to Peter Halligan's talk about the School, Jung's dream and the pool of life. His unique viewpoint and trailblazing efforts are well worth celebrating. The Liverpool school was, after all, the forerunner of The Art Organisation and although on a smaller scale their achievements were mighty, not least in hosting the Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool when Ken Campbell started that.


There are a couple of announcements for the discussion after the lecture: Jayne Casey has kindly agreed to sit on the panel after Peter Halligan's talk, and it's now confirmed that it will be chaired by Stuart Wilkes-Hegg of Liverpool University, an expert on Liverpool culture. Also appearing will be Chris Bernard and Gregory Scott-Gurner, so it should be an extremely interesting evening.
