A bench in St John's Gardens, Liverpool (Photos by the author) In Liverpool, hatred for The Sun newspaper is nothing new. Since the tragic events of the Hillsborough Disaster 27 years ago (and the infamous front page smear that followed), many Liverpudlians have boycotted the tabloid.
Since its £14m seafront revamp, Newcastle has become one of Northern Ireland's most sought-after coastal resorts.

Touring their fourth album, Tell Me I'm Pretty, with a stop off in Liverpool, the Kentucky rockers chat to Louder Than War about Kanye West, dreams about synths and the unbridled love they have for the city of Nashville.

Depending on which direction you're travelling, the timetable can read like a ranking of either the country's nastiest shit-holes, or the best locations for football league away days.
