With our Shared Equity Scheme* you can have 100% of a brand newluxury home and all we ask for is 75% of the already low price.
LOVELL Partnerships arebuilding a better future forfirst time buyers in Liverpoolby allowing them to own100% of their new home whiledeferring 25% of the cost.
Lovell’s shared equity scheme has alreadyhelped many buyers fresh to the propertymarket move to a new home - and it isnow available at three of its developmentson Merseyside.
With three ventures in Liverpool, alloffering quality-built homes in greatlocations, Lovell already holds a firmpresence in the city’s new build market –and its new shared equity scheme is sureto further cement the housebuilder’sreputation.
Different from other schemes, buyers willown 100% of their new home but be able
to defer the remaining 25% as an interestfree loan that can be repaid within10 years.
It is available on selected homes atWoodlee Green, which sits in the bustlingcommunity of Gateacre, Church Fields,in the established area of Garston andKensington Square, which is located inthe heart of the rapidly changingregeneration area of Liverpool 7.
As well as enjoying great locations, allthree developments offer a collective mixof quality-built properties; from spacioustwo-bedroom apartments, three-bedroomhomes and grand four-bedroomapartments at Kensington Square, tothree-bedroom terraces at Church Fieldsand a range of three-bedroom semi-
detached and terraced properties atWoodlee Green.
Elaine Taylor, regional sales manager forLovell Partnerships (North West) says:“For many first time buyers our sharedequity scheme is the most affordable,practical and reliable incentive to buyingtheir dream home.
“There’s no interest or rent to pay on thedeferred amount and they have up to 10years to pay it back. The scheme alsomeans they need only apply for a 75%mortgage, offering lower monthlypayments and leaving more money intheir pockets.”
The amount repayable is calculated as apercentage of the market value at the time
of repayment. Repayments can be made atany time, giving buyers the option to paymore when they have more fundsavailable.*
Lovell’s shared equity scheme is makingalready-competitive prices even cheaper atall its Liverpool sites. However thoseinterested need to hurry, homes which areavailable using shared equity are quicklyrunning out.
Under the scheme, a three-bedroomhouse at Kensington Square can now bepurchased for an initial outlay of just£93,713 a three-bedroom, semi-detachedproperty at Woodlee Green is availablefrom £90,375, and a three-bedroom,mid-mews at Church Fields can now becalled home from just £ 93,713.
When it comes to great homes, Lovell hasit covered with its Liverpool projects.They all enjoy settings close to necessaryamenities, from stores and supermarketsto restaurants and friendly pubs.The motorway networks are alsonearby, allowing easy commuting tomost destinations in the north-westand beyond.

As a proposed Tesco store for Hope Street in thecity’s cultural quarter prompts controversy, we askwhether the city centre really needs another branchof the supermarket giant?
Tescopoly?
yourmovemagazine.comHave your say//// YOUR VIEWS ON BIG ISSUES
Have your say atyourmovemagazine.com/forum
“Personally I don’t think we do needanother one in the city centre but in thecurrent climate it’s going to be verydifficult for the banks to lend to anyoneother than Tesco. The restaurant businesshas been one of the hardest hit duringthe recession, so for someone to openanother restaurant on Hope Street ishighly unlikely. I don’t think Tesco canbe stopped.”
Gary Manningco-owner at HoSt, TheQuarter and 60 Hope Street
“Hope Street is a particularly sensitivearea of the city, known for its culture,architecture and leisure. A retail outlet isnot suitable on that site really. In terms ofthe wider issue in the last three to fouryears, Tesco sites have opened up aroundthe city centre and some of them aregreat facilities, but you get to the stagewhere you reach a saturation point.There are probably enough as it is now.”
Canon AnthonyO’Briendean of the MetropolitanCathedral
“The Hope Street streetscape has beencompromised before, and with discreetsignage Tesco’s arrival need not be adisaster. I like a bit of “Tesco-bashing” asmuch as anybody else but our civicleaders could be thinking more creativelyabout ways to support choice and varietyon the high street and make some ofLiverpool’s long-established shoppingareas more attractive.”
Liam Fogartychairman of the campaignfor a mayor of Liverpool
“Yes. Hope Street is a busy, thrivingneighbourhood but it’s under-served bygood quality convenience shopping andthat needs to change. A well-designed,lively store front has to be better thansomething proclaiming “Roadkill”. Let’sbe honest, if Waitrose was behind theapplication people would be picketingthe planning committee to get them toaccept it.”
Mike Hanlondirector of MaghullDevelopments
“At present, there is little provision forconvenience shopping within walkingdistance in the area, so it may help in thisrespect, but the area is part of the citycentre's unique cultural heritage and theproposed development may not fit inwith the aesthetics of Hope Street. Iknow there is strong opposition to theproposal online and this cannot beignored. There are other areas that couldbe developed such as Mrytle Street andthe parade of shops there.”

A campaign underwayNew Homes’ Week, runningbetween 12 and 20 September,is set to see developers acrossthe city welcoming visitors totheir sites in great numbers.Recent news that house pricesand sales have started to riseslightly has triggered furtherinterest, getting the chainsmoving and helping buyers inall areas of the market.
New spacesNew build properties havealways been a popular choicewith buyers, offeringcontemporary designs incovetable or newly developedareas, and chic, durablefinishes inside and out. Forfirst time buyers new todecorating, visiting a showapartment or property kittedout with furnishings andinteriors, can be an excellentidea to find out how they canbest make use of their space tosuit their family size andlifestyle. For those buying ahome at a new developmentcurrently under construction,there may even be an option tohelp design and alter aspects ofthe layout – for example inenlarging the kitchen space,adding a conservatory, or inmaking bedrooms en-suite. AtHamilton Place, a variety ofthree bedroom homes,including the Ambrose,Eversley, Clarendon andOakhurst town house, thelatter of which feature a topfloor master bedroom withprivate en-suite, caters forevery taste.
Cost effective solutionsWhen it comes to weighing upthe costs between buying a newhome or an older property,Redrow Homes’ research foundthat purchasing the formercould save around £30,000 ofthe money often spent by newhomeowners on adapting andaltering their home to theirlifestyle. Clive Parry, groupcommercial director forRedrow, which has familyhomes for sale at CressingtonHeath in Garston, commented:“A lot of people purchase anolder home and then spendtens of thousands of poundsupgrading it. With one of ournew homes, everything hasbeen done for them already,with an up to date specificationand high quality finish. Theyalso have the advantage of a 10-year warranty.” A survey of1,000 housebuyers conductedby www.smartnewhomes.complaced the low maintenance ofnew build properties at the topof the list of advantages, closelyfollowed by competitive pricingamong developers, the choiceof interiors and the new buildwarranty. For those with timeat a premium, the appeal of anew build is obvious – makingthe moving in process muchsmoother and leaving you withmore time to enjoy yoursurroundings.
On the face if itCosmetic alterations to theproperty are usually quite easyto make to new build homes.When negotiating a deal on aproperty, there is often the
opportunity to choose floor andkitchen tiles, worktops, andbathroom suite colours andfinishes to personalise yourhome. While this may come atan extra cost, there are oftensome good deals to be had ifbuyers can put down a depositon the property or come to anagreement with the developer.
Mortgage mattersAt the present time, mortgagerates are lower than they havebeen for a decade. John Lloydof Belgravia, independentadvisors, commented:“Lenders do require a bigdeposit to be paid, but thatdoesn’t have to be by the buyer.Lenders currently allow buyersto borrow 85 per cent of thevalue of the property, leaving ashort fall of 15 per cent. Formost first time buyers this is ahuge amount of money andgovernment realises this, sothere are a number of schemesavailable where the builder, thegovernment, or both can helpwith this deposit.” For moreinformation on how thegovernment’s HomeBuy Directscheme can help first timebuyers get a foot on theproperty ladder, visitwww.homeshub.co.uk, which isthe one stop shop andgovernment agent for theHomeBuy scheme in our area.Typically, the scheme allowsthe buyer to secure only a 70per cent mortgage, with 30 percent provided in a loan co-funded by the government andthe housebuilder. An advisorwill be able to point you
towards developments offeringparticular schemes to best suityou and your circumstances.
Creating an eco-environmentWhile arguments against newdevelopments often cite thebuilding on green spaces, newbuild properties are often agood choice for theenvironment. Brownfield sitesare a popular choice withdevelopers, and are an efficientuse of otherwise wasted, formerindustrial land. The recentoutlawing of the traditional 100watt lightbulb has made theheadlines lately, and developersare increasingly turning to eco-friendly and energy-savingappliances and fittings in theirproperties. Figures released bythe House Builders’ Federation(HBF) show that a new buildproperty is six times moreenergy efficient than an olderhouse, and produces only 40per cent of the CO2 emissions –the equivalent of driving 10,000miles less, every year, perhousehold. Improved energyefficiency can also reduce utilitybills for gas and electric bymore than £500 a year, withbetter insulation and energysaving fittings. Julie Rayner,sales director for GleesonHomes, which offers familyhomes at Montreal Gardens inHuyton, commented: “Greaterenergy efficiency brings thepotential for savings on fuelbills, and there is no need tofork out for any costlymaintenance or redecoration ona brand new property.”

Ross Cope, Access to Home Ownership officer for Regenda Homes, assists first timehomebuyers in the Housing Market RenewalInitiative Area. Access intends to break downbarriers that people can encounter when buyingproperty. Ross offers a friendly, unbiased voicefor buyers to contact, ensuring a smooth processwhen buying their dream home.
How did you get into property? After leaving university I trained as an independent financialadvisor. I worked for a consultancy of independent financialadvisors before becoming a financial planning manager withHSBC bank. I’d always been interested in property and, whenthe opportunity arose to join a private developer, I leapt at thechance. At first I worked as the company’s developmentmanager, looking for alternative investment avenues, but I wanted to become more involved in property purchasing.I became the valuations manager before moving up to become director of purchasing.
How has your career progressed?In 2006 I joined Maritime Housing Association (The RegendaGroup) as part of their home ownership team, assisting currenthomeowners affected by the redevelopment plans in Liverpool.The Access scheme had just received funding to cover the muchlarger Housing Market Renewal Initiative Area. I applied forthe new role as access officer and have since expanded theproject with great successes along the way.
Why Liverpool?I definitely think it’s an exciting place to be, with the recentCapital of Culture and the positive changes you can now seetaking shape. Liverpool has that unique buzz like so manyother European cities.

Q. I hold six buy-to-let properties in my own name, lastyear they were tenanted all year and because of reducedinterest rates they made a good profit. I am also a partnerin a property partnership with 2 friends. The propertypartnership has only 2 properties which were empty lastyear so we made losses. Can I offset the losses from thepartnership against the profit from my own properties toreduce my tax bill?
A. The six properties you own yourself will generally constitute asingle rental business in HMRC’s view; that means that theincome and expenses can be pooled, so that profits on oneproperty will automatically offset losses from another.
The situation for an investor who owns some properties in his/herown name and others jointly is less straightforward. There are anumber of possible scenarios here. If an investor simply ownssome properties jointly, for example with a spouse, then thereshould not be a problem with aggregating the share of profit orloss from the jointly owned properties with the solely ownedproperties.
However for a partnership the position is potentially moreproblematic, as HMRC may take the view that the partnership isa separate business, which would mean that the losses from thepartnership cannot be used to reduce your tax bill this year.
Q. How do I decide whether this applies to me?
A. This will depend on the level of what HMRC call ‘the degreeof business organisation’ in the partnership.
If a partnership bank account is operated, annual accounts drawnup and a partnership tax return prepared then these factorswould all indicate that a separate business may exist, as wouldthe provision of significant additional services. If none of thesefactors exist you may be able to argue that no ‘partnership’ exists,and rather that the properties are just jointly owned.
This is also a situation which will affect all of the partners, so it isimportant that you discuss matters and that you all adopt thesame treatment.
As always good advice will be essential.
As with many decisions you really do need to takeindependent financial and tax advice. If you would like our help call Julia on 0151 228 8977 at John KerrChartered Accountants 369-375 Eaton Road, WestDerby, Liverpool L12 2AH. Authorised and regulated by The Financial Services Authority

Q My elderly aunt passed away recently. During her lateryears she had suffered from Alzheimers. As a result shemoved into residential care and her property had to be soldas obviously this could no longer be maintained.
Her will, which was made 10 years ago, before the onset ofthe dementia, now reveals that the house (which of courseno longer exists) had been bequeathed to me. I have beentold that because the house was sold prior to my aunt’sdeath then I will not receive any benefit at all. Is thiscorrect?
A Usually when a testator or testatrix (a person making awill) makes a gift of a specific item (in this case a house),then the gift will lapse if it does not exist at the time ofdeath. However, there is a little known provision containedwithin mental health legislation making an allowance forthese special circumstances when a house has to be soldbecause of the will maker’s incapacity. In such a case, thelaw states that if the house has been converted into anotherform e.g. cash, then the original beneficiary can take thecash instead.
Of course, this depends upon whether the cash still existse.g. whether it had to be used to pay fees in a care homeetc. Therefore, it would ultimately really depend uponwhether your aunt had any debts or fees to dischargeduring (and perhaps after) her lifetime and if so, whethershe had other finances/assets at her disposal with which topay the same. Your Solicitor should be able to adviseaccordingly as to this.
If you would like to discuss making a will or need advice inrelation to what will happen to your assets and otheraffairs in the event of your death contact:-

Tell us about the property...It used to belong to an elderlylady who had died. There wasquite a lot of work requiredand it needed re-wiring and re-plastering. I just saw a lot of potential in it and relishedthe challenge.
What’s the layout?As you enter there’s a smallhallway with stairs, a loungethrough to the kitchen with a small dining area, thebathroom and a large storagespace through to the garden.Upstairs there are twobedrooms and a box room.
What have you done in the garden?When we moved in it was all over-grown. We’ve put indecking and borders, hangingbaskets and flowersand we’ve justhad Indiansandstoneinstalled.
And thekitchen?We’ve just had that donetoo. I don’t like high gloss, so it’s cream units withchrome handles, oak work top, grey slateflooring and grey tilearound the border of theunits and one feature wall. The dining area used to be a pantry before we knocked the wall out and fitted it withBoConcept interiors.
Helen Green is an interior designconsultant at Elaine CunninghamInteriors on Aigburth Road and is soon to
head up Elaine’s latest venture, the north-west’s first BoConcept store. She recentlymoved to a three bedroom town house inGarston with fiancé Paul Kaufman and,since arriving in her new home, she hasused her style expertise to include a range
of BoConcept pieces in the property.
Tell us about the bedrooms...The only one we’ve completedis the master bedroom, which
has been finished withpowder-blue wallpaper. Wehave a black metal framebed and traditional dark
walnut furniture. Theother room has just beenplastered, papered andcarpeted, while the boxroom is mainly used asa dressing room.
What’s yourfavourite item
in thehouse?Thatwouldprobably
be thechandelier
in the living room.
And finally, what would be your dream buy?The hallway has a really highceiling so I’d love to have acrystal chandelier in there.Perhaps we should get thewedding out of the way first!
Helen is to become manager of thenorth-west’s first BoConcept store when it opens its doors at 20Chapel Street on Friday 11September. For a full range ofBoConcept’s stylish furniture, visitwww.boconcept.co.uk. For stylish,contemporary design, visit ElaineCunningham Interiors on Aigburth Road, or log on towww.elainecunninghaminteriors.com
What’s your theme in the living room?The living room is purple and there are some more of my
favourite BoConcept interiors, such as the TV unit. Thereare purple curtains and purple interiors and a subtle textureto the wallpaper. We’ve got a marble fire surround whichwe’ve put candles and lights in and that looks lovely.

I love the bathroom. It was the first thing we did in the house and unusually it’s downstairs. It’s beige from floor to ceiling, with white units including a curved bath and glass shower screen.We’ve finished it with ornaments we picked up in the Caribbean.There’s a wooden palm tree and wooden fish on the windowledge and a wooden soap dish from Antigua. We’ve also addedvibrant orange and lime green cushions from Zara.

Interview by Jonathan Kearney
My first job was working on ahousing estate as a landscapegardener earning about £23.After that I got a job with thelocal housing office collectingthe rent. From then it’s been asteady climb to my currentrole. I’ve worked in all areas tothe point where I’mregeneration director.Academic theory wasn’t for mebut I’ve always had a “can do”attitude towards working life.What are the dailychallenges you face asregional director?The big challenge for us ismaking sure we make adifference to people’s lives inLiverpool. With that come a lotof difficulties. We’re makingsure we can deliver first classservices and can get our teamout onto the street rather thanworking behind desks. Do you enjoy the role?I love it. This is the best jobI’ve had. The big reason is theopportunity to work in a bigcity which has been in myheart since I was about 10.Even though I’m from PrestonI’ve always been a bigLiverpool fan and I’ll alwaysremember watching the 1974
cup final as a youngster. I’vegot obvious affection for thecity and I’ve always chosenLiverpool for nights-out aheadof Manchester.What are some of theinitiatives you’ve beenparticularly proud of sinceyou’ve been in Merseyside?The regeneration services, inparticular a service calledYouth Voice. It gives youngpeople a vehicle where they canhave a voice and debate issuesthat affect them. I have aparticular affinity for youngerpeople and I’ve found thatproject really rewarding.Another service is the Access toHome Ownership scheme.That helps people who want tobuy properties in theregeneration areas of Liverpooland we’ve had a dedicated teamover a number of yearsproviding a fantastic service toget them into other homes andproperties.
Which policies are youlooking forward toimplementing in the future?Our future initiatives will beabout developingneighbourhood managementservices and working withpartners to make sure we havea real strong focus onimproving the lives of peoplein neighbourhoods. There areaction plans within the city tomake a difference and there areexciting times. I think we canmake a real difference topeople’s lives.
What are your interestsoutside of work?I’ve got five kids between theages of 16 and 23. They’reobviously a big part of my life,although sometimes I feel likea bit of a walking speed bank!Football is one of my majorpassions and I’ve beencoaching a local football teamfor the last five years. It’s niceto think I’ve had an impressionon their lives. My other passionis holidays and I’m lookingforward to heading off to theAlgarve with my wife soon.

I’ve promised my teenage son that I would redecoratehis room for doing really well in his exams, but he hasno idea how he wants the room to look and I haven’teither! Can you give us some suggestions?
I would recommend that you first divide the room intoseparate areas as getting the plan right is essential.Teenage rooms work well divided into three separatesections for different lifestyle needs. The first areashould be for sleeping so, if the space is available, I would advise investing in a double bed. The next areacould be a study section, and the third section can thenbe an area for relaxing, perhaps with room for books, aTV and games consoles. For this area, it’s important thatyou have enough plug sockets to avoid trailing extensionleads, which can be dangerous. For the colour scheme I would choose bold and striking tones and, if you arelooking at wallpapering, Harlequin has a great barcodeeffect paper that would suit all ages.

We would like to invest in some personalised artwork and, aswe have two small children, ideally we’d like to include them.My friend has had some family photographs taken which lookfantastic. However, we would like to have something moreunique and are thinking perhaps of a painting. Before we goahead with this idea, is there anything else on the market weshould consider?

Organised space
I live in a new city centre apartment, which has a really large lounge. I have two large cream sofas and I am desperately trying to find a coffee table that is large enough to fill the space. Everything I see is eithertoo small, or is in metal or glass - neither of which I want. Can you think of anything that would lookamazing?
BoConcept has a large contemporary coffee table thatmay be the perfect solution to your dilemma. The tableOcca 4600 is made from black stained oak and thedimensions are: W120 x D70 x H43 cm. The stainedveneer will work really well with your cream sofas,giving you the perfect canvas from which to accessoriseyour room. Visit www.elainecunninghaminteriors.com.

“Everyone is veryhands-on anddedicated to doing the best forour clients.”
The just out of the city centrevenue, The Orchard, is rapidlyestablishing itself as a businessmeeting point and a relaxingevening venue. Branded arestaurant, bar, and cider tavern,its name reflects its abundantoffering of real ales and ciderson offer, and a home-cookedmenu. When Debbie Taylor,director of Whitegates’ WaltonVale branch and the auctionsbusiness, joins me for lunchwe’re both spoilt for choice.Head chef Dave, rememberedby restaurant-goers from histime at L’Alouette, is certainlystill on form and Debbiechooses The Orchard ducksalad, served with a poachedegg, while I opt for the vegetableand stilton pancake, whichcomes in a rich cheese sauce.
Whitegates Auctions has beengoing from strength to strengthsince its inception just over 12months ago and the new venueis expected to make the businesseven more of a success. Based atthe Walton Vale branch of theWhitegates franchise, Debbieand her team bring a combinedwealth of experience, coveringsales and lets to the board acrossAnfield, Fazakerley, WaltonVale, Bootle, Aintree, Seaforthand Kirkdale. An accomplishedbusinesswoman, property is arelatively recent avenue forDebbie: “I was alwaysinterested in property and havebeen building up my ownproperty portfolio since myearly twenties. I’ve always runmy own businesses in a number
of industries, but I really gotinto estate agency about fiveyears ago – and that’s becomemy passion. Our branch is amarket leader; we have strongcompetitors in the city centre,but we’re aiming high.” AnARLA and NAEA registeredfirm, Debbie is also a qualifieddomestic energy assessor, ableto provide vital information tovendors and buyers on theirproperties.
At The Orchard, the newmenu and set-up has also made-over a recipe for success into anideal business meeting-place,with two courses from therestaurant’ express lunch menuoffered for £10.95. Withdesserts including Pimms jelly,set with summer fruits, andEnglish strawberry tarts, TheOrchard lives up to its nameform fruity and traditional fare.
At Whitegates Auctions,plans are already underway forthe next lots of sales under thehammer on 17 September, at1pm. Interest is running high,and the Whitegates team iscurrently taking instructionsfrom vendors on the residentiallots on offer.
Magners comedy nights arefast becoming a staple of the
entertainment at The Orchard,as are acoustic nights, in theold spice mill on BlundellStreet. Aftr a day in the office,Debbie enjoys relaxing with herhusband Dave and sons Steveand David, and socialising,although the staff enjoyspending time together out ofwork too: “We have a strongteam of seven, so everyone isvery hands-on and dedicated todoing the best for our clients,whether they’re first timebuyers or seasoned and buy-to-let investors.” For Your Movereaders keen to sell theirproperty in the next auction,there’s a special incentive:“We’ll give readers 50 per centoff the insertion fee for theauction brochure, usually £95,if they ring up, and say they’veread this article.” The firm ispositive about taking advantageof the opportunities offered inthe current climate: “We’veweathered a difficult period,but I do think that market isshowing signs of recovery.” Thenear future will see Debbieexperiment with an eveningauction in November, a novelevent for the city, as demandincreases – watch this space formore details.

Layered bob variationAs autumn arrives and we start to prepareour work for London fashion week its hardto believe that this year is drawing to a close– its gone so fast!Classic shapes like this one never go out offashion and its largely due to the fact that itseasy to manage and it grows into shaperather than out of one, if you planning oncoming in less often. Salon or DIY?Customers want value for money these daysand many new clients are turning theirbacks on cheaper risky alternatives. I’ve lostcount of the amount of botched jobs I’vefixed over the years so if you aren’t able togo to the salon as often as you used to, optfor a simple shape that you can blow dryyourself and a colour that doesn’t obviouslygrow out. Veils and partial colour that isunder the parting are proving particularlypopular in the salon at the moment. Thesame goes for products. If you are on abudget buy a richer shampoo and you won’talways need to condition.A product like sea salt is a great styling andfinishing product as its none greasy andgives the hair unmatched texture.AccessoryRemember your hair is the ultimateaccessory. Like a fabulous handbag or pairof shoes it says everything about youroverall look -except of course you’ll bewearing it 365 days a year! That’s got tomake it worth investing in hasn’t it?

If Forno on Duke Street willbe one of the eateries engagingin the Liverpool Food andDrink Festival in Septemberand for traditional Italiancuisine the city’s diners needlook no further. The popularcity centre venue meets therequirements of a genuine tasteof Italy and warrants itsburgeoning reputation. Withno disrespect to the youngBritish wait-on staff that arethe bedrock of the restaurantindustry, I always find itpromising to encounterexperienced Italian service, ifnothing else but to add a senseof authenticity to the occasion.The staff at Il Forno do notdisappoint and are happy toelaborate on the extensivemenu and advise on thecarefully crafted wine list. Toaccompany the feast to followwe selected a DomaineMontrose Cabarnet Syrah, asoft fruity red from theLanguedoc region of France.Like the starters this did notdisappoint. I chose the penneall’arrabbiata – a spicy dish ofpenne with tomatoes, garlic,chilli, basil and olive oil withthe optional and most welcomeaccompaniment of Italiansausage. My partner selected
from the weekly specials menuwith a choice of aubergine andmozzarella layered in tomatosauce. Both dishes were craftedwith simplicity and flavourand made for handsomeportions as we absorbed ourinviting surroundings. Thesubtle blend of interior stylesin Il Forno are reminiscent ofthe designs of Charles RennieMackintosh, with a delightfulcacophony of fun andsophistication so fitting for anItalian venue. The display ofproduce as you enter puts youin mind of a west Londondelicatessen and serves as areminder of the freshingredients on offer. Themixture of seatingarrangements lends itself to anarray of occasions, with thecurved seating area around thegiant sculptured head stonepizza oven a charming focalpoint. My choice of maincourse was entrecote di manzoalla griglia, a grilled sirloinsteak in a balsamic dressinggarnished with rocket andparmesan shavings and servedwith chunky Il Forno fries.This dish leant itself to moresubtle tones, offering contrastwith the pasta dish. Mypartner again selected from the
appetising choice of specialswith creamy risotto withasparagus and porcinimushrooms and once more thepolicy of carefully selecting thefreshest ingredients was inevidence with this tastyhelping. With little room tomanoeuvre, we were eventuallyenticed to the desert menu bythe attentive staff, safe in theknowledge that our genuineItalian experience would beincomplete without sampling arich Italian sweet. I opted forthe vanilla ice cream withchocolate shavings and Bailey’sIrish Cream, a bold and lavishindulgence, while my partnerenjoyed the Macedonia difrutta, a generous salad ofseasonal fresh fruit. Nowbordering on the hedonistic,we could not resist a sample ofIl Forno’s extensive cocktailmenu, with the Bellini andRossini proving deliciousaccompaniments to desert. Thejoyous atmosphere andcomprehensive offering that’sbeen created at the DukeStreet venue simply leaves youseeking more of the same. It’slittle wonder then that thisauthentic Italian has emergedas one of the city’s mostpopular choices.
ForzaItalia!

The sizzle of Ricky Gervais’ssweeping critical acclaim hasdiminished somewhat in recenttimes, owing predominantly tohis involvement inunremarkable money spinners.The Invention of Lying is theOffice-creator’s first Hollywoodproject as actor, writer anddirector and is hoped to havemore of Gervais’s individualmark that catapulted himbeyond the majority of hiscomic contemporaries. The filmis set in an alternate reality inwhich lying doesn’t exist. Withevery spoken word assumed astruth, this offers Gervais’scharacter Mark the edge over
everyone else as he lies his wayto fame and fortune. Theromantic twist, which is usuallytreated with care in Gervais’sproductions, is that he is notable to lie his way into the heartof the woman he loves.
The pedigree of the castcertainly offers promise, withAmerican talents such as JonahHill, Tina Fey and Rob Lowejoined by British cameos fromGervais’s old friends StephenMerchant and Karl Pilkington.Patrick Stewart teams up withGervais, as narrator of themovie, for the first time sincehis legendary appearance inExtras.
The stage adaptation of theBafta-award winning Kes fliesinto the Liverpool Playhousefrom September. Thebittersweet story centres on oneboy’s love for the kestrel henurtures and trains. BillyCasper, played by Stefan Butler(All the fun of the fair), lives ina tough Barnsley communityand faces bullying andhardship in his daily life. Hisbeloved kestrel offers him hopeand respite and so, as the birdgrows, so too does the boy’sspirit, as he soon discovers aworld beyond the confines ofhis backyard. The Playhouseproduction includes a cast ofDaniel Casey, who played Sgt.Gavin Troy in Midsommer
Murders,David Crellin(Emmerdale’sBillyHopwood),MikeBurnside(D.A.C Hicks in The Bill),and Hollyoaks actorsKatherine Dow Blyton (SallyHunter) and Oliver Farnworth(Will Hackett). A Kestrel for aKnave by Barry Hines was anacclaimed novel at the time ofits publication in 1968 and isstill popular to this day,remaining a favoured GCSEtext. The Ken Loach directedfilm of the beloved talecelebrates its 40th anniversarythis year, and the Playhouse
production will involvechildren from four Liverpoolschools to help recreate BillyCasper’s 1960s Barnsleyclassroom.
Verdict? Kes, which runs at thePlayhouse from Friday 18September to Saturday 10October, is a production not to bemissed. For fans of the film theplay is sure to encapsulate thespirit of the story.

A strong cast isn’t always arecipe for success but Gervais isundoubtedly a talented writerand comic and the premise ofthe film lends itself to hisunique brand of humour. Herealises the importance ofromantic storytelling as ananchor to the comedy vehicleand his unlikely on screenrelationship with Jennifer,played by Jennifer Garner, willbe crucial to the film’s integrity.
Verdict? Sure to have comedy fans flockingto theatres in their droves whenreleased in early October.
The Invention ofLying is RickyGervais’s latest forayinto Tinseltown

My Favourite//// DR ROBERT – SINGER
Dr Robert, front man of‘80s innovators The BlowMonkeys, brings the bandto Liverpool as part of a tendate tour. Purveyors ofsimian soul and primatepunk, The Blow Monkeyscame to prominence withhits such as ‘Digging YourScene’ and ‘It Doesn’t HaveTo Be This Way’. Theirarrival at Live Lounge atBaby Blue, follows thesuccess of ‘Devil’s Tavern’ –the groups first tour andalbum for 18 years.
SingerMy favourite singer would have to be
Bobby Darin. The man had such greattiming and versatility.
AlbumHere My Dear by Marvin Gaye. It was beautifulmusic to pay for his divorce.
GigI saw The Ramones play in Sydney circa' 1978.
That would have to be the most memorablegig I’ve ever attended. It changed my life.
FilmI saw the Nicolas Roeg film Walkaboutjust before moving to Australia. It’s abouttwo young kids who find themselves lostin the Australian outback. It’s a really
gripping story and I’d highly recommend it.
Item of clothing They would have to be my stage shoes!
ActorRichardWidmark.He was a vintageleading man who starred in films such as Kissof Death, which was shown on BBC4 recently.He’s an underrated class act.
Place in LiverpoolThe Adelphi. What else can you say!
FoodI would have to say sushi. It’s clean and light and best washed down with a nice warm sake. Delicious.
Way to relaxListening to test match special. It certainlymade for some exciting entertainment recently!
Holiday destinationI really love the Isle ofSkye. The place hassuch spiritual andmystical qualities. It’sfantastic.
Dr Robert and the rest of The Blow Monkeyswill perform at Live Lounge at Baby Blue onSunday 13 September, with tickets availablethrough the Liverpool Arena Hotline on 0844 8000 410.
