From the very early days of its origins and then starting to build just after the turn of the 20th Century, through to its completion in 1978 after 74 long, hard, but rewarding years, the unfolding story of this great cathedral, the largest in the whole of the UK and the fifth largest in the world, is both fascinating and quite unique. It survived 2 World Wars, periods of recession and great hardship in this once famous and important port of Liverpool to become a tribute to the dedication of a great many people and their skills. Share the amazing journey through our site, as it becomes evident just how important the Cathedral is to the heart and the life of this now internationally acclaimed City of Liverpool.

Liverpool-born Rachael Jean Harris has carved a highly individual sound, blurring the lines between folk, jazz and indie, drawing from a love of adventurous writers such as PJ Harvey, Esperanza Spalding and Kate Bush and allowing a love of poetry and literature to shine in her thoughtful, evocative lyrics.  The vast majority of her songs have fallen into rich themes surrounding the lives of people on the raw edges of existence - women in conflict zones, men in long term confinement; whilst her more recent work takes on distinctly more personal themes as she discovers how journeys through grief, past relationships and new freedoms find solace and reverberation within the natural world.
