To celebrate the launch of Chris Shepherd’s debut graphic novel, Anfield Rd for Titan Comics, Chris is programming this Bar Shorts. Breaking with Bar Shorts tradition Chris will screen just the one film: Willy Russell’s classic 1977 TV Play for Today -  Our Day Out. It follows a group of teachers as they take a group of Liverpudlian school children on a trip to Wales. But the trip doesn’t go as planned.

Afterwards we will be joined by comedy legend and fellow scouser Alexei Sayle who will chat with Chris about Anfield and 1980s Liverpool. Alexei is an author, actor, stand-up comedian, television presenter and a recording artist. His autobiography Stalin Ate My Homework explores the world of Liverpool suburb Anfield.

Chris will be signing copies of Anfield Road in the bar before and after the event.
