			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was contacted by Tony recently who ran the Bold Street Virgin shop in the early 70&#8217;s. I had thought that this was the first site (which I must admit did seem unlikely to me!) but Tony put me straight. Below is Tony&#8217;s account of the year he ran virgin Bold Street which makes a great addition to our growing archive of all things Bold Street.
&#8220;I saw your article on the website about the Virgin Record Store in Bold St and felt I should reply. I opened the shop in about 1971 and was the first manager for about a year. This was the 3rd Virgin shop as the first was opened in Oxford St in London although we had run as a mail order business for cut price records some time before this. Brighton was next and Liverpool shortly after.
I arrived on my first day from London to find a carpenter and we proceeded to build the fittings for the shop including the counters and shelving, all do-it-yourself in those days as money was very short and we were fighting the big record companies to break the monopoly on record sales and provide customers with discounts. The shop had been a womens clothes/bridal shop before we took it over and was very large with lots of room upstairs. I think it was number 90 Bold St but cant be sure. I lived in the shop for some time before eventually finding a flat locally. We kept a rabbit at the time and sometimes she lived in the shop but had to be moved when she started chewing the alarm wires and setting it off in the middle of the night.
Most record shops of the time made you stand in a small booth to listen to records and limited the time you could spend there. Virgins philosophy was to give people a comfortable environment and no limit on how many records you could listen to hence the cushions. Richard had decided to sell waterbeds and at one point we had one as well as the cushions but this did not survive visits from the Scottie Rd School kids who delighted in sticking pins and knives into it until we had a very soggy carpet.
There wasnt a doorman in my day but if anyone was seen taking drugs they would be asked to leave as it risked the closure of the shop by the police. We were raided by the police once who arrived with dogs, plainclothes and lots of uniformed officers. They closed the shop and searched everyone there but nothing was found except a mess on the carpet by a police dog.
Sadly I do not have any photographs of the shop at this time.&#8221;
If anyone does have any photo&#8217;s of the Virgin Shop Bold Street we would love to see them. Thanks so much to Tony for this.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apologies for our blogging silence over the last couple of months, Boldstreet&#8217;s mother project tenantspin has taken up a lot of our time of late with some amazing projects which have helped us to spread our community TV wings into one of the cities most famous and influential gallery spaces (apart from FACT that is!!) Check out our other projects at www.tenantspin.org and www.tenantspinontour.com.
So, for my first post in a while here is something sent to me recently, from Mark Shepard called Street People:
Street People March 1978
 Come into the silence of the crowded street
 There are some faces I&#8217;d like you to meet
 The ones that look like locked doors
 Concealing what&#8217;s inside
 The ones who don&#8217;t reveal to you 
 The music of their minds

 That man knows his beer glass
 Like a jeweler knows his jewels
 Another man knows his empty pockets
 Like a school boy knows his rules
 And the young man who just passed us now
Is  searching for a friend
 Who understands his solitude
 And knows how to make it end&#8230;

 Refrain:
Stand inside the echoes
Of this cold concrete
It&#8217;s like an ever moving photograph
Never to be complete
Hold the silence in your hand
Feel that it is wise
Assemble all your senses
and place them in your eyes

That girl knows the sidewalk
Like a songbird knows its cage
She&#8217;s a year from home and tired
Of lying about her age
The business men who know her best
Don&#8217;t know her very well
They&#8217;re too caught up inside themselves
With what she has to sell

Refrain:
Stand inside the echoes
Of this cold concrete
It&#8217;s like an ever moving photograph
Never to be complete
Hold the silence in your hand
Feel that it is wise
Assemble all your senses
and place them in your eyes

See the old man with the spaniel dog?
He loves it like a son
And sometimes in his room at night
He dreams that he is young
Some &#8220;victim of society&#8221; just stole a lady&#8217;s  purse
He eats the ground with his strong legs
And accelerates in bursts&#8230;

Refrain:
Stand inside the echoes
Of this cold concrete
It&#8217;s like an ever moving photograph
Never to be complete
Hold the silence in your hand
Feel that it is wise
Assemble all your senses
and place them in your eyes

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
We recently attended the opening of a new gallery on Bold Street dedicated to the work of James William Carling in an upstairs room in our favourite Bold Street eatery, Maggie May&#8217;s.
The gallery has been months in the planning, the vision of dedicated people such as Ron Formby (Scottie Press) John Lea (owner of Maggie May&#8217;s cafe) and Michael Kelly (author of Liverpool&#8217;s Irish connection) and includes a selection of works on paper by the pauper artist now the property of The Poe Museum, Richmond, Virginia USA.
James was born in Addison Street Vauxhall 150 years ago and soon discovered he had a talent for painting and drawing, specifically street scenes and portraits of local places and characters which caught his imagination. The interesting thing about these images are that they capture the spirit and atmosphere of Liverpool during these years from the perspective of the ordinary working people.
Carling also cut a familia character particularly on Bold Street were he was seen most days in his childhood at work on chalk pavement representations of scenes around Liverpool and beyond begging for money from the wealthy patrons of the fashionable street.
After a 4 year spell in America Carling returned to England with a view to attending the Royal College of Art in London but this was not meant to be and he died at aged 29 from drinking related illnesses in poverty in Liverpool and was consequently buried in a paupers grave in Walton.
His work will be exhibited in this gallery above Maggie Mays cafe in Bold Street alongside other works throughout the year.
Click here to read more about Carling.
For more information about the gallery call into Maggie Mays or email laura.yates@fact.co.uk and I will be glad to pass on your enquiries to Ron or John.
Maggie Mays serves a selection of traditional dishes as well as some very good scouse/Irish sausage from a local butcher which we were privaledged to taste at the opening morning on St. Patricks day.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
&#8220;Liverpool is more than just 2008.&#8221;
Indeed, and local photographer and Bold Street Project contributor Pete Carr shows us how.
Pete contributed many amazing images of Bold Street to the Bold Street project - viewable on Flickr and at the time, in the exhibition at FACT. Now he&#8217;s got his own show &#8220;Port of Culture&#8221; on the Albert Dock (Unit 18, next to the Tate). Well worth the trip we reckon; Pete&#8217;s images are stunning!
In his own words:Port of Culture is an extension of a project I have been running for over 3 years called Vanilla Days. It&#8217;s a photographic site featuring a new image each day. I have been using this site to document Liverpool over the past few years from key events to cityscapes to simple images of life on the street. Port of Culture is a showcase of the best images featuring dramatic scenes from protests to classic local architecture. I wanted to show people that Liverpool is more than just 2008. The idea behind the name is basically that Liverpool&#8217;s new import / export is culture. The city was once a huge port and while that may have dwindled the city&#8217;s level of culture has grown. 2008, as the Capital of Culture, means that we&#8217;re now exporting everything that has made Liverpool great all over Europe. Our music, architecture, art, and people are all being exported for people to see. Liverpool is now a port of culture. The exhibition couldn&#8217;t have been held at a better location, the Albert Dock. A once popular dock back in its day and now a great place for artists to exhibit and perform. This exhibition is my contribution to 2008, my way of showing how great Liverpool is as the year starts. 
The exhibition runs till March 9th http://www.portofculture.co.uk/

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[When I was 11, it was the only place I was allowed to go shopping with my friend on our own&#8230;we felt so grown up. Her Mum would drop us off there &amp; we were not allowed to go outside of Bold Street all day, we used to buy fake cigarettes from a little joke shop that puffed out some form of talcum powder and wed sit on the benches trying to look older, pretending to smoke. 
Years later Bold Streets Caf Tabac was the meeting place for my friends and I at the weekend before going on to Macs &amp; the Mardi &#8230;what great nights out we had then. I had my 18th Birthday at the Four Seasons which was awful but cheap to hire and as I was too drunk to remember much of it, its of little importance where it was held.
I still love Bold Street, I can spend hours in Rennies, its like a second home to me.
Thank you to Carol Ramsay at the Liverpool Biennial for her memories.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Many people had spoken to me about the Virgin music shop on Bold Street during the 1970&#8217;s but I hadn&#8217;t yet had a full account of the interior of the shop.
That all changed when I received an email from Murray Greenberg who remembers the shop well and sent me the story below to bring it back to life.
 I and three long- haired other friends who attended the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys from 1965 to the early 1970s (now Paul McCartney&#8217;s  Liverpool Institute for
Performing Arts (LIPA) ) would &#8216;escape&#8217; and go down to Rushworth&#8217;s  in
Whitechapel where you could listen to records in separate booths.
Then something happened !
About 1970 on the way down Bold Street we noticed that this new store had
opened. Virgin offered something different. As soon as you walked in you
could smell and see burning joss sticks.  There were several sets of large
head phones and the &#8216;hippyish&#8217; staff would gladly let you hear whole
albums. It was here I discovered Deep purple, Black Sabbath and Emerson
Lake and Palmer.  You get imported albums, unavailable in the UK and albums
were up to £1 cheaper than in the other record shops. Then they expanded
and opened the upper floor. They sold flared jeans , loon pants and
;&#8221;Afghan&#8221;  coats - big suede coats with sheepskin edging.  Then the shop
got too small for the stock - the Virgin empire was growing and the shop
moved to the St Johns Precinct shopping centre
We are all in our 50&#8217;s now but the memory is as clear as yesterday! 
The shop is now Maggie May&#8217;s cafe and has swapped beanbags for beans on toast! It is a favorite spot for refueling over a cup of tea and is soon to be the new venue for the William Carling Gallery. (more about that in another post!)
Thank you to Murray for his tales of the early Branson endeavors.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Al Peterson contacted me recently with a great story of radical Bold Street. Protest is  in the fabric of Bold Street and so to have a story of one such event really crystalises this, thank you Al!

&#8220;Bold Street became my gateway to my involvement with Arts &amp; Music ever since 1955 when I started to attend Liverpool Junior School of Art in Gambia Terrace and
Liverpool College of Art Hope Street (1960"1965) as well as visiting my late great friend Adrian Henri who resided at 21 Mount Street.
After Junior Art School we used to meet up with girls at the El Cabbala in Bold Street and there experienced my first taste of Espresso Coffee and Spaghetti Bolognese.
In 1977 my band 29th &amp; Dearborns Sound Recording Studio was established at No 2 Mount Street.
My most recent escapade in Bold Street was with the Merseyside Stop the War Coalition to protest against Starbucks being the main supplier of coffee to the guards
and the other psychopaths that run that anomaly known Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
As you can see from the photograph we have adopted the much publicised fluorescent orange jump suits that the inmates are forced wear.
The protest lasted about 40 minutes before we were asked to leave by the manager accompanied by a security guard who had informed the police.

Merseyside Stop the War Coalition is a non-violent protest group that has organised numerous marches in London, Manchester and Liverpool.
They helped organise the largest Anti War Rally against the Iraq War that Britain has ever witnessed in London on the 15th February 2003.
News from Nowhere is the organisations main outlet for tickets and books for the various rallies and Anti-War information.&#8221;
Al also remembers El Cabbala coffee shop mentioned to me many times by different storytellers. This was obviously a really important venue for the youth of the 50&#8217;s &amp; 60&#8217;s and deserves a blog of its own so watch out for that coming soon! (I am still trying to find an image of it!)
Al&#8217;s views are not to be confused with the views of FACT, tenantspin or The Bold Street Project.

&#8220;I think the future of Bold St. looks good.&#8221;
&#8220;Bold Street belongs to all people, past, present and future&#8221;.

&#8221;Bold street is great there&#8217;s always something happening, it&#8217;s tradition for me and my girlfriend to come to town every Saturday and go to as many shops on Bold St as we can. Forbidden planet, Home Bargains, Waterstones, HMV, Soul Cafe, etc. We wouldn&#8217;t know what we&#8217;d do with ourselves without it. The busking is great too.&#8221;

&#8220;After moving to Liverpool from the Wirral soon discovered Bold street as the place to meet people. It is much more bohemian than any other part of the city centre and as you walk down the street your would feel cultured by all the unique shops surrounding you.
I always seem to bump into somebody I know as I walk down the street and yet that doesn&#8217;t happen to me anywhere else like it does on BOLD STREET.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#8220;When I was a teenager, I would hang round on a Saturday around Pryre records and the Palace and look at all the cool records and clothes we could&#8217;nt afford. When I was older I used to take Mondays off work and while everyone else was working I would buy books from &#8216;News from Nowhere&#8217; and read them on St.Lukes steps with a rostie and a cake from Sayers. Now it&#8217;s been my high street for two years and I walk down it nearly everyday.&#8221;

&#8220;Bold street has never been far away from my life
-Dragged around the shops by my mum when i was a kid.
-In and out of the clubs in my teens and twenties.
-Now working in the new offices behind FACT.&#8221;
&#8220;My most abiding memory was when my girlfriend had a flat on Berry St 2003/4. A band were performng in &#8216;TABAC&#8217; window facing cut onto the street. It looked excellent and like I&#8217;ve never seen since.
Has anyone else? (Think it was on August Bank Holiday weekend)&#8221;
&#8220;We love Bold St keep it going!&#8221;
&#8220;Michelle - You have masterstroked Bold St. Joseph Cornell had Utopia Parkway-this is yours Thanks for the beauty.&#8221;
&#8220;Very interesting - great visuals and display&#8230; where&#8217;s Matta&#8217;s? Otherwise brilliant.&#8221;
