THE HULME TUNE

Yesterday, regulars of Afflecks came and offered their support of this icon of cheaper fashionable alternative clothing. Each were given the chance to pen their opinion and petition to keep the Palace running.

This old city centre building with five floors of over 40 stalls had been a place where up & coming designers and entrepreneurs sold their wears to young fashionable peeps. It opened in 1982 and was the brainchild of James Walsh, a local hairdresser.

The future of Afflecks Palace is still unsure, maybe this celebration was to test to see if it’s still what young people want in fashion shopping 26 years on.

ZION ARTS NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH - New Edit

This is a new edit of the video, which is 1 of 2 I’m posting. It means the next one will be of ZYAC, Zion Young Actors Company (without swearing in it). Launched on 14 March 2008, Zion Arts Centre’s new website looks impressive and allows interactive users to blog and get involved.This video is showing soon on Zion Arts new website & YouTube. Zion Arts Centre website was launched with a fountain of chocolate and a few happy guests. Many thanks to Caroline Boyd for her kind permission to film the event.

Many thanks to
Manchester Digital Development Agency MDDA
for lending me the camera.

What’s the new website called? You’ll just have to watch.

MANCHESTER 2015 VIDEO REPORT pt 1

I was invited by Manchester Partnerships to go down and report on the Manchester 2015 event on Saturday March 15th. This is the first part of my report and in this I talk to Sir Richard Leese, Head of Manchester City Council (MCC), and Anne Morgan from the Planning Strategy Team from MCC.

Part 2 coming soon… where I chat to some of the public, meet more of the organisations and see a guy take a run and jump. You might just get a glimpse of Darren Campbell signing autographs.

While some people scratch their heads and wonder, “Can Manchester get any worse?”. One local family event coming soon says - YOU can make it better.
