Last night I was the envy of a certain Danny Start after securing tickets to the world premiere of "Of time and the City" a film by Terence Davis The start at 8.00pm went to 8.20pm allowing time for the Dicky bows and dresses to be just right the man playing the organ was running out of puff, but was it all worth the wait of course it was with the man himself, culture secretary and producers talking prior to the film Terence Davis told us to watch it with our hearts because that is how he made the film with his heart
First shown in Cannes that film capital of the world it received rave reviews and sitting watching it last night you could understand why. A film showing Liverpool sometimes not in a good light but later on emerging from the rubble to become the city it is now and still growing It was a film through his eyes of where he grew up and how it has changed narrating the film himself their were lots of poignant moments and some laughter especially about "Betty's and Phil's" wedding. When we left to get the bus home the dresses and Dicky bows were of to a party I guess, but what a night to rememberfor our year as Capital of Culture 2008 and the man himself Mr Phil Redmond take a bow was there to watch it all.
