“Writing the No Worst, There Is None commission was one of the most enjoyable jobs I’ve had,” reckons main man Bill Ryder-Jones, “Once again Liverpool proves itself to be a home for esoteric and conceptual happenings and as we all know, a place where people want more from the arts than […] posturing and showboating”.
