I recommend a restaurant who started as a Takeaway back in 1991 (I think!) KIMO’s. Kimos Restaurant is a very nice Arabic/Middle Eastern style or some may say exotic restaurant. You can get lots of different type of delicious and fresh food. If you want to eat a big meal or a small snack, at Kimos you will get it. Don’t forget to order hummus as a side dish (Its DEeLICIOUSssss!!!!!). Ohhh for our Muslim friends, good news it’s HALAL!! Faisal Khalil, LILA* Accommodation Officer

You can find Kimos on our LILA* Recommends Map here, enjoy!

Resurrection: One of my favourite shops is Resurrection on Bold Street because it’s a little bit like a boutique so you can get things that nobody else will have for a good price

Every Sunday I try to go for a walk and yesterday I went for a wander in Sefton Park after my breakfast down on Lark Lane. I happened to stumble across the Liverpool Guitar Society doing a concert in the Palm House. It was a beautiful few hours of classical guitar music and a wonderful surprise!

Abandon Silence are proud to present a special double bill as two of the UK’s hottest artists head to The Hold. 2011 was the year of Mosca, from his early releases to the inescapable Bax, played by artist as diverse as Seth Troxler, Skream and James Blake. To quote Fact, who placed the track at number 2 in their 2011 countdown; “Suave as you like, it blew up any dancefloor it came near and reminded us why we fell in love with UK club music in the first place.” Supporting Mosca is the prodigious duo Disclosure, who bring their fresh and exciting live show to The Shipping Forecast. They spent the last couple of months of 2011 on tour as a part of the Annie Mac Presents… tour, being handpicked by the Radio One DJ herself. Despite their relative infancy, they have crafted a reputation as one of UK electronic music’s ‘next big things’. Support comes, as ever, from Abandon Silence residents Sertone, Bolts and Real.
