Liverpool ECHO

The Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror North West & North Wales – a subsidiary company of Reach plc and is based in St Paul's Square, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is published Monday to Sunday, and is Liverpool's daily newspaper. Until 13 January 2012 it had a sister morning paper, the Liverpool Daily Post. It has an average daily circulation of 35,038. 

Historically the newspaper was published by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd. Its office is in St Paul's Square Liverpool, having downsized from Old Hall Street in March 2018. 

The editor is Alastair Machray, who has previously edited the Welsh edition of the Daily Post.

In 1879 the Liverpool Echo was published as a cheaper sister paper to the Liverpool Daily Post. From its inception until 1917 the newspaper cost a halfpenny. It is now 85p Monday to Friday, £1.20 on Saturday and 90p on Sunday.

The limited company expanded internationally and in 1985 was restructured as Trinity Holdings Plc. The two original newspapers had just previously been re-launched in tabloid format.

A special Sunday edition of the Echo was published on 16 April 1989, for reporting on the previous day's Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 Liverpool F.C. fans were fatally injured at the FA Cup semi-final tie in Sheffield. Every single one of the 75,000 copies printed was sold. 

In 1999 Trinity merged with Mirror Group Newspapers to become Trinity Mirror, the largest stable of newspapers in the country.  In 2018, Trinity Mirror was rebranded as Reach plc. 

On 7 January 2014 it was announced that a regular Sunday edition of the paper would be launched. The Sunday Echo is "a seventh day of publication, not an independent product", according to the paper 

In 2008 the paper moved printing from Liverpool to Trinity Mirror Plc, Oldham, Greater Manchester, while journalists remain based at St Paul's Square in Liverpool city centre.

Regis Philbin

Regis Francis Xavier Philbin  (/ˈriːdʒɪs ˈfɪlbɪn/; August 25, 1931 – July 24, 2020)  was an American media personality, actor, and singer, known for hosting talk and game shows. Having been called "the hardest working man in show business",  Philbin holds the Guinness World Record for the most hours on U.S. television.  His trademarks included his excited manner, his New York accent, his wit, and his irreverent ad-libs.

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, he served in the U.S. Navy and got his television start serving as a page for The Tonight Show in the 1950s. Philbin gained his first network TV exposure in 1967 as Joey Bishop's sidekick on The Joey Bishop Show. Philbin is most widely known for having been the co-host of the New York City-based nationally syndicated talk show Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee starting in 1988, which became Live! with Regis and Kelly starting in 2001, and continued with former football player Michael Strahan after Philbin's departure in 2011. 

Philbin debuted and hosted the US version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Million Dollar Password,  and the first season of America's Got Talent. 

Philbin was born on August 25, 1931, in Manhattan.  His father, Francis "Frank" Philbin, a U.S. Marine who served in the Pacific, was of Irish heritage.  His mother, Filomena "Florence" (née Boscia), was from an Italian immigrant family of Arbëreshë (ethnic Albanians from Italy) descent from Greci, Campania.  Philbin had a Catholic upbringing.  He was supposedly named "Regis" because his father wanted him to attend his alma mater, the prestigious Regis High School. It was long believed that Philbin was an only child, but on the February 1, 2007, broadcast of Live with Regis and Kelly, Philbin announced that he did have a brother, Frank M. Philbin (March 1, 1951 – January 27, 2007), who had died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma several days earlier.  Philbin said his brother, 20 years younger than he, had asked not to be mentioned on television or in the press. 

Philbin was raised in the Van Nest neighborhood of the Bronx.  He attended Our Lady of Solace grammar school,  and graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School  before attending the University of Notre Dame, from which he graduated in 1953 with a sociology degree.  He later served in the United States Navy as a supply officer, then went through a few behind-the-scenes jobs in television and radio before moving into the broadcasting arena.

Peter Green

Peter Green

Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946 – 25 July 2020)  was an English blues rock singer-songwriter and guitarist.  As the founder of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Green's songs, such as "Albatross", "Black Magic Woman", "Oh Well", "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" and "Man of the World", appeared on singles charts, and several have been adapted by a variety of musicians.

Green was a major figure in the "second great epoch"  of the British blues movement. B.B. King commented, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."  Eric Clapton praised his guitar playing;  he was noted for his use of string bending, vibrato, and economy of style. 

Rolling Stone ranked Green at number 58 in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".  His tone on the instrumental "The Super-Natural" was rated as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player.   In June 1996, Green was voted the third-best guitarist of all time in Mojo magazine 

Peter Allen Greenbaum was born in Bethnal Green, London, on 29 October 1946, into a Jewish family,  the youngest of Joe and Ann Greenbaum's four children. His brother, Michael, taught him his first guitar chords and by the age of 11 Green was teaching himself. He began playing professionally by the age of 15, while working for a number of East London shipping companies. He first played bass guitar in a band called Bobby Dennis and the Dominoes, which performed pop chart covers and rock 'n' roll standards, including Shadows covers. He later stated that Hank Marvin was his guitar hero and he played The Shadows' song Midnight on the 1996 tribute album "Twang." He went on to join a rhythm and blues outfit, the Muskrats, then a band called The Tridents in which he played bass. By Christmas 1965 Green was playing lead guitar in Peter Bardens' band "Peter B's Looners", where he met drummer Mick Fleetwood. It was with Peter B's Looners that he made his recording début with the single "If You Wanna Be Happy" with "Jodrell Blues" as a B-side.  His recording of "If You Wanna Be Happy" was an instrumental cover of a song by Jimmy Soul.

Darren Till

Darren Till

Darren Till (born 24 December 1992) is an English mixed martial artist and former Muay Thai kickboxer, currently competing in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).  Till also competed in the Welterweight division, and once challenged for the UFC Welterweight Championship. As of July 18, he is #5 in the UFC middleweight rankings. 

Till was born in Liverpool, England . He began training in Muay Thai at the age of 12 and turned professional at the age of 15. Till made the decision to train in MMA under Team Kaobon at the age of 17.  Till was involved in a fight at a party in August 2012 and was stabbed twice in the back, after confronting a large group of men. It was a near death experience as the knife cut deep into his body, missing his main artery by a millimetre. After the incident, his then-coach Colin Heron advised him to go to Brazil to train with Kaobon's previous Luta Livre coach Marcelo Brigadeiro, as living in Liverpool caused too much distraction in his life. Team Kaobon rallied round and raised the funds and packed him off. He moved to Brazil to pursue his MMA career and to teach Muay Thai. Till's initial plan was to stay in Brazil for just six months, although Heron's thinking was much different as he intended on having Till stay in Brazil for as long as possible, in order to keep him away from Liverpool's distractions. Till ended up staying for three and a half years
