St John's box office watch

I snapped a couple of photos of St John's box office this morning. St John's is Liverpool shabby shopping centre and indoor market, where you can buy everything from Paris Hilton's latest perfume to a pig's head. It's like the dirty little secret of Liverpool's (apparently) glittering retail sector, and the council would probably bulldoze it to the ground were it not for all the people who need budget shops. I buy all sorts of bits and bobs in Iceland. You can get 18 Penguins for £1 in there.

Anyway. Let's take a look at the Manchester side:

I know it sort of looks like there's a small ghost trapped inside, but there really isn't. You can just about see that upcoming gigs include Bon Iver, Crystal Castles, Hot Chip and Jeffrey Lewis. But what about the Liverpool side?

The Australian Pink Floyd Show, Michael Ball and a Beatles Day. And what sound like poor quality emo bands at Academy/Barfly (Multi Purpose Chemical and Glamour of the Kill). And a mere three gigs scheduled for "Uni & Korova". These two venues are nowhere near each other. They're not even in cahoots! The far right column is the top sellers, and it reads 'Creamfields, Creamfields, Creamsfields, Ministry of Sound'.
St John's box office doesn't represent all the DIY gigs and so on, but from this investigation it's Manchester 1, Liverpool nil.
