Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CKYR4E - A late-summer street scene in the Paddington Basin area of West London showing pedestrians walking past a line of bright pink wayfinding signs marked Carnival, directing people towards Notting Hill Carnival. The image was taken in August under strong daylight, clear blue skies and hot, dry weather, conditions typical of a peak UK summer period.
People are dressed in light clothing suitable for warm temperatures, reinforcing the sense of heat and seasonal conditions. The temporary signage highlights how London's public realm and transport-adjacent spaces are adapted each year to manage the movement of large crowds attending one of Europe's largest street festivals.
The photograph illustrates the interaction between urban infrastructure, seasonal weather and major cultural events, and is well suited for editorial use covering topics such as summer festivals, crowd movement, urban planning, transport access, heatwaves, and the logistical impact of large-scale events in London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RY1R1J - Thelwall Morris Men were formed in October 1973, the nucleus of the side being a group of regulars from the Thelwall Folk Club at the Pickering Arms, which was run by Maggie and Rod Goodall.
All of these men were absolute beginners. Some had seen morris dancing at Keele University Folk Festival earlier in the year and fancied trying it. The only trouble was how to get started?
The answer proved to be a small ad in Folk Review magazine, asking for someone to come and teach the dance. Around this time, Chris Maple, who became the side's first squire and foreman had arrived in the North West to take up a job in Liverpool. Chris proved well equal to the task of getting his raw recruits off on the right foot (or in our case, the left).
The side's first musician was Fred Horrobin (Maggie's dad) who busked on accordion for a couple of weeks until someone unearthed the exceptionally talented Steve Burgess from downtown Stockton Heath. Under Chris's tuition, the side learned an assortment of Cotswold dances, mainly Bampton and Adderbury to begin with. The first public performance took place, without baldricks and badges, at the Pickering Arms in August 1974 before a sceptical audience of wives and girlfriends and members of the folk club.
By 1975 the side had acquired it's kit. Black breeches and shoes, white shirt and socks, with baldricks of pale blue and claret surmounted by a distinctive badge representing the wall of Thells or stakes from which Thelwall, England's smallest city, derived its name in Anglo-Saxon times.
The side's first invitation to a day of dance was from Southport Swords in May 1975, and the inexperienced side made a favourable impression. The following year they attended their first Ring Meeting at Thaxted and have attended a Ring Meeting almost every year since then.
In 1977, the side visited Ireland for the Cobh festival, quickly followed, in 1979, by an invitation to Mallow, Ireland

There is to be an open meeting on Wednesday 30thNovember for local groups and individuals to gather interest and ideas, and set up an organising committee.

In 2023 it is the 1100th anniversary of Thelwall being declared a city'. There is to be an open meeting on Wednesday 30thNovember for local groups and individuals to gather interest and ideas, and set up an organising committee. The meeting will take place at the Royal British Legion, doors opening at 7pm for the meeting to start at 7.30. Representatives and individual members of all village organisations will be very welcome.
We've been looking back at the way the village came together to celebrate 1000 years in 1923 and 1050 years in 1973. In 1923, Thelwall's celebrations helped to fund a new war memorial (Bell Lane), dedicated in 1925. So successful was the event that the pub was drunk dry and the caterers ran out of food and drinks. In May 1973, Thelwall Youth and Community Association organised Festival 1050 a four day event with a folk festival, a piano recital by Stephen Hough, an arts and crafts exhibition in the school and a procession that saw Miss Thelwall (Carol Moss) brought across the Manchester Ship Canal by the ferry boat where she was met by the Thelwall Rose Queen (Julie Lager) to a fanfare. They then joined a procession of vintage cars round the village.
If you have any memorabilia, photos, films or memories from these events, we would like to hear from you. You can email thelwallhistorygroup@gmail.com

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX1858 - This image shows the former marketplace area in Warrington town centre decorated with large rainbow-coloured canopy panels in preparation for a Pride event. The bright fabric strips are suspended above communal seating and tables, transforming the covered public space into a visually striking symbol of LGBTQ inclusion, diversity, and celebration. Members of the public can be seen using the space beneath the colourful installation, reinforcing its role as an everyday civic environment adapted for a community event.
Warrington, a large town in Cheshire, has in recent years invested in town-centre regeneration and the reimagining of public spaces to support events, social activity, and local identity. Pride celebrations form part of a wider programme of cultural events across towns and cities in the UK, promoting visibility, equality, and support for LGBTQ communities while drawing people into shared urban spaces.
The image captures themes of Pride, inclusivity, community life, and the evolving use of traditional market areas within British town centres. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to LGBTQ Pride events, diversity and inclusion, civic space, urban regeneration, community gatherings, and contemporary social culture in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG92W3 - Pump clips are badges that are attached to handpumps in pubs to show which cask ales are available. In addition to the name of the beer served through the pump, they may give other details such as the brewer's name and alcoholic strength of the beer and serve as advertising.
Pump clips can be made of various materials. For beers that are brewed regularly by the big breweries, high quality plastic, metal or ceramic pump clips are used. Smaller breweries would use a printed plastic pump clip and for one-off beers laminated paper is used. There are variations on the material used, and the gaudiness or tastefulness of the decoration depending on how much the brewery wants to market their beers at the point of sale. Novelty pump clips have also been made of wood, slate and compact discs. Some even incorporate electronic flashing lights. Older pump clips were made of enamel.
The term pump clip originates from the clip that attaches it to the pump handle. These consist of a two-piece plastic ring which clamps to the handle with two screws. Plastic and laminated paper pump clips usually have a white plastic clip fixed with a sticky double-sided pad that pushes onto the handle.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDKX49 - Cheltenham, also known as Cheltenham Spa, is a spa town and borough on the edge of the Cotswolds in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Cheltenham became known as a health and holiday spa town resort, following the discovery of mineral springs in 1716, and claims to be the most complete Regency town in Britain.
The town hosts several festivals of culture, often featuring nationally and internationally famous contributors and attendees
they include the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, the Cheltenham Science Festival, the Cheltenham Music Festival, the Cheltenham Cricket Festival and the Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival. In steeplechase horse racing, the Gold Cup is the main event of the Cheltenham Festival, held every March
Cheltenham stands on the small River Chelt, which rises nearby at Dowdeswell and runs through the town on its way to the Severn. It was first recorded in 803, as Celtan hom
the meaning has not been resolved with certainty, but latest scholarship concludes that the first element preserves a pre-British noun cilta, 'steep hill', here referring to the Cotswold scarp
the second element may mean 'settlement' or 'water-meadow'. As a royal manor, it features in the earliest pages of the Gloucestershire section of Domesday Book where it is named Chintenham
The districts of Cheltenham include: Arle, Benhall, Charlton Kings, Fairview, Fiddler's Green, Hesters Way, Lansdown, Leckhampton, Lynworth, Montpellier, Oakley, Pittville, Prestbury, the Reddings, Rowanfield, St Luke's, St Mark's, St Paul's, St Peter's, Springbank, Swindon Village, Tivoli, Up Hatherley, Whaddon and Wyman's Brook.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AD9 - Hereford Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Hereford in Hereford, England.
A place of worship has existed on the site of the present building since the 8th century or earlier. The present building was begun in 1079. Substantial parts of the building date from both the Norman and the Gothic periods. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.
The cathedral has the largest library of chained book in the world, its most famous treasure being the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world created around 1300 by Richard of Holdingham. The map is listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
The cathedral is dedicated to two saints, St Mary the Virgin and St Ethelbert the King. The latter was beheaded by Offa, King of Mercia in the year 794
Before this, Hereford had become the seat of a bishopric. It is said to have been the centre of a diocese as early as the 670s when Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, divided the Mercian diocese of Lichfield, founding Hereford for the Magonsæte and Worcester for the Hwicce. In the 7th century the cathedral was refounded by Putta
Between the years 1226 and 1246, Lady Chapel was rebuilt in the Early English stylewith a crypt beneath. Around the middle of the century the clerestory, and probably the vaulting of the choir, were rebuilt, having been damaged by the settling of the central tower
In the first half of the 14th century the rebuilding of the central tower, which is embellished with ball-flower ornaments, was carried out. At about the same time the chapter house and its vestibule were built, then Thomas Trevenant, who was bishop from 1389 to 1404, rebuilt the south end and groining of the great transept.
In 1841 the restoration work was begun, instigated by Dean Merewether, and was carried out by Lewis Nockalls Cottingham and his son, Nockalls.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHPYCD - Lymm is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England, which incorporates the hamlets of Booths Hill, Broomedge, Church Green, Deansgreen, Heatley, Heatley Heath, Little Heatley, Oughtrington, Reddish, Rushgreen and Statham. At the 2021 United Kingdom census it had a population of 12,700.
History
The name Lymm, of Celtic origins, means a place of running water and is likely derived from an ancient stream that ran through the village centre. The village appears as Limme in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Lymm was an agricultural village until the Industrial Revolution, which brought the Bridgewater Canal and the Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway to the village. The village played a prominent role within the salt extraction industry, gold beating industry and cotton industry (many of its inhabitants were fustian cutters).
Lymm Heritage Centre, which opened in June 2017, is in the centre of the village on Legh Street. It hosts exhibitions related to local history as well as activities for schools and visitors.
Morris dancing was taking place in Lymm as early as 1817, often appearing in the village at Rushbearing time throughout the Victorian era. Morris dancing[7] continues to feature within the village with Lymm Morris dancers frequently performing during Rushbearing and at the various annual village festivals including the Lymm May Queen Festival, Lymm Festival and Lymm Dickensian Festival.
In 2017, Lymm was voted as one of the 'Best Places to Live' according to The Times and The Sunday Times list. In 2023, the village was voted as one of Britains 'Most Desirable Towns' according to The Daily Telegraph

Appleton Thorn village is the only village in England where the 'Bawming the Thorn' ceremony takes place. This ceremony take place on the 3rd Saturday of June every year. The thorn tree, which stands beside the church, is believed to be an offshoot of the Glastonbury thorn, which grew from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea. Adam de Dutton, a knight of the Crusades and local landowner, brought it to Appleton. Bawming, which means, decorating the the tree with flowers and ribbons, takes place whilst local children (our 6 class) dance and sing the Bawming song.
The Bawming Committee are always looking for new members to get involved to help maintain this unique celebration. If you would like to help in any way, please contact the Committee at: bawming@appletonthorn.org.uk

When does the Lymm Dickensian Festival take place?
The Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival is an annual event, which has taken place for over a quarter of a century in Lymm Village. It is held on the second Saturday in December and is organised and run by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee.
Every year the Lymm community comes together with the support of the Lymm Parish Council to take the village back in time to a different era, when Dickens was alive, and where you might see Ebenezer Scrooge strolling through the streets. All of the community becomes involved, and Father Christmas himself takes time out of his busy pre Christmas schedule to attend the event.
There is a festival parade to entertain visitors, where you will see floats from local schools, vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages and of course Santa and his elves. Throughout the village there will be stalls selling local goods, and spreading Christmas cheer. Punch and Judy also take a turn to entertain, along with jugglers, street performers, musicians and Morris Dancers.
It's all in a good cause
All of the profits raised by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee each year are donated to a chosen charity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN0YP - An Aberdeen street art festival has been given a national award following a public poll.
Over four days in April, international artists gathered to brighten up the city by creating large public murals for Nuart.
Business organisation Aberdeen Inspired played a large role in developing the festival, and has now been commended at the 2017 National Business Improvement District (BID) Awards for this.
Following an online vote by members of the public and deliberation by an expert panel, it was awarded the Place Management award over five other BIDs from across the UK.
The win marks the fourth award Nuart Aberdeen has won, including helping the city toward its European BID of the Year victory in July.
Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired, said: We're absolutely delighted that Nuart Aberdeen has been recognised with another national award against strong competition from across the UK.
The festival was very successful and sparked a huge amount of interest in the city with large crowds coming to the centre to see the street art throughout the year.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RF7M10 - 40 homeless people, a New York street artist and two local creatives create a massive Manchester mural
The Doodle on Ducie Street has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival
The mural, The Doodle on Ducie Street, has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival in November which aims to raise awareness of homelessness and support homeless people.
We had almost 40 artists working on this and we came together just one week ago, said street artist and activist Joel.
It's been an intense week. We got together and asked what we could create that would represent everyone and what message or story we wanted to tell. Everyone made sketches and we made a composition, then each day we came out and worked on it.
Now the wall is a wondrous array of colour, inspired by Joel's signature style, designed to encourage conversation perfect for the upcoming festival.
The unique creative team was organised with the help of With One Voice, an organisation which sets out to tackle homelessness in a creative way.
Everyone came together and decided what was important to them. We came up with this concept of the guy on the mural, he's flying through the air from challenges in his life to a brighter future, said With One Voice director, Matt Peacock.
It's been an amazing experience, says Matt. We were really conscious that we were putting this piece of public art in the centre of Manchester, where homelessness has been on the rise. For many years people would rightly say, why art?'
And the reasons for that, which I hope you can see, are so many things it's about personal and societal regeneration, it's about telling a different story about homelessness, and giving a voice to people who are and have been homeless to say what they want to say to the public.
The artists have found the experience a boost to their confidence.

It's been an amazing experience, says Matt. We were really conscious that we were putting this piece of public art in the centre of Manchester, where homelessness has been on the rise. For many years people would rightly say, why art?'
And the reasons for that, which I hope you can see, are so many things it's about personal and societal regeneration, it's about telling a different story about homelessness, and giving a voice to people who are and have been homeless to say what they want to say to the public.
The artists have found the experience a boost to their confidence.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PYX9BA - Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain
that such festivals may have had pagan roots
and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, separate from ancient festivals like Samhain.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PG69G6 - Yard Of Ale formed originally in 1972 and had ten successful years on the pub and club circuit, winning the TV Times Pub Entertainers of the Year award, doing well on ITV's New Faces and appearing on many television and radio shows including STV's Thingummyjig and BBC Scotland's Scottish Radio Orchestra Roadshow. During this time they also supported, amongst others, Matt McGinn, Hamish Imlach and Billy Connolly and enjoyed an extended run at the Edinburgh Festival with the legendary Tim Hardin.
Thereafter they went their separate ways........Alistair McDougald performing solo on the club cabaret circuit, Colin Mackenzie forming and playing with North Sea Gas folk group and Ian Lawson leading a successful rock band.
In 1992 the group reformed for a project in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Bill Hill in which they performed acoustic music spanning 30 years........Skiffle, Folk, Protest, Calypso, Country and Contemporary.
One of the hits of this year's festival - Danny Kyle, BBC Radio Scotland.
Since then the band have been in great demand for concerts, folk festivals, corporate functions, pub, hotel and club gigs all over Scotland and on tour in Denmark and Ireland.
Peter Gillan joined the band when Ian retired due to work commitments in 1998. Having spent many years as a singer/guitarist playing solo on the folk and country scenes, Peter's experience has added yet another dimension to the band.
Walter Mowat joined Yard Of Ale in 2015. Walter has played in a number of folk and bluegrass bands over the years and also plays violin with the Really Terrible Orchestra.
Ian Lawson and Colin Mackenzie still occasionally feature with the band for larger gigs and as emergency stand-ins.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJYB - What is cask-conditioned beer?
For the first thirty years of CAMRA's story, most of the better flavoured beer in the UK were the type of real ale' that is served from a type of barrel called a cask. While stored in a pub's cellar, the beer inside these casks develops its character, or condition, for up to a week, thanks to the presence of live yeast in the beer. It is then served without the injection of carbon dioxide gas.
This additional maturation should add elegance to the beer's character, while the absence of gas injection makes its carbonation gentler.
Major efforts by CAMRA, including publicising the best outlets for such cask-conditioned beers and running hundreds of beer festivals each year that served them, promoted them ahead of the industrial brands that had come to dominate the UK beer trade in the late 20th century.
The term real ale became associated with beer served from a pub's cellar via tall, hand-pulled pumps mounted on the bar, with the make of beer named on a clip attached around the narrowest part of the handle. A few would be served directly from the cask, through a simple tap.
Like any artisan product, a cask-conditioned beer requires special handling and storage to be consumed at its best. The cellar temperature needs to be fairly consistent and neither too hot or too cold
the cask should lie undisturbed and its keeping time respected
and the pipes through which it flows to the bar must be kept thoroughly clean. A cask-conditioned beer served in a British pub remains an essential part of British culture

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM9B - Brighton Fringe is an open-access arts festival held annually in Brighton, England. It is the largest annual arts festival in England and one of the largest fringe festivals in the world. Brighton Fringe 2018 took place from 4 May 3 June. The programme of 2018 included 1008 events at over 166 venues across 4 weeks.
Brighton Fringe runs at a similar time to Brighton Festival, and in 2013 extended its run to four weeks. In 2019, Brighton Fringe will run from 3 May-2 June.
One of the event's main objectives is to promote local talent and the arts. It also offers performers an opportunity for their event to be reviewed or picked up by promoters, as well as going on to Edinburgh. This is why anyone can put on a Brighton Fringe event. In 2011 Brighton Fringe launched the Professional Development Programme, aimed at offering workshops to aspiring performers wanting to progress in the business. In 2012, Brighton Fringe opened its own on-street box office, which provided a physical base for the arts event, selling tickets as well as being a hub for promoters and performers. They also launched Brighton in the Square, a showcase of Brighton Fringe performers at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.
As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, Brighton Fringe introduced the Dip Your Toe project in 2012, which featured performances in six custom-built Victorian bathing machines, which were located throughout Brighton and Hove during the month of May. In 2014, the organisation launched an Arts Council England supported scheme called Window which showcases productions suitable for touring.
Brighton Fringe is a registered charity but does not rely on public funding, in fact, less than 3% of its income is generated from public sources. The other sources of revenue include participants' registration fees, advertising, sponsorship and Friends membership.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AT9E83 - The Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds) is an annual summer music and opera festival held each June to early July in Spoleto, Italy, since its founding by composer Gian Carlo Menotti in 1958. It features a vast array of concerts, opera, dance, drama, visual arts and roundtable discussions on science.
The Two Worlds in the name of the festival comes from Gian Carlo Menotti's intention to have the worlds of American and European culture facing each other in his event
this concept would then be strengthened by the fact that it was held in conjunction with its twin, the Spoleto Festival USA held annually in May/June in Charleston, South Carolina. That twinning lasted some 15 years and, after growing disputes between the Menotti family and the board of Spoleto Festival USA, in the early 1990s a separation occurred. Under Menotti's direction in 1986, a third installment in the Spoleto Festival series was held in Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne's Spoleto Festival changed its name to the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts in 1990.
Following Menotti's death in 2007, changes occurred in the administration with the result that the Italian Minister of Cultural Affairs appointed a new Artistic Administrator who continues to run the Festival.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8P03 - An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. Since the date of the first Sunday of Advent varies, falling between November 27 and December 3 inclusive, the Advent calendar usually begins on December 1, although many include the previous few days that are part of the season. The Advent calendar was first used by German Lutherans in the 19th and 20th centuries but is now ubiquitous among adherents of many Christian denominations.
Many Advent calendars take the form of a large rectangular card with windows, of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Eve. Often, these windows have a Bible verse and prayer printed on them, which Christian families incorporate as part of their daily Advent devotions.
Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus) or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Advent calendars range in theme, from sports to technology, often carrying Scripture verses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKG1 - The Edinburgh Festival Theatre is a performing arts venue located on Nicolson Street in Edinburgh, Scotland used primarily for performances of opera and ballet, large-scale musical events, and touring groups. After its most recent renovation in 1994, it seats 1,915. It is one of the major venues of the annual summer Edinburgh International Festival and is the Edinburgh venue for the Scottish Opera and the Scottish Ballet.
The present theatre's location is Edinburgh's longest continuous theatre site, for there has been a theatre in that location since 1830. From being Dunedin Hall, the Royal Amphitheatre, Alhambra Music Hall, the Queen's Theatre, Pablo Fanque's Amphitheatre, and Newsome's Circus, the site became the Empire Palace Theatre, the first of the famous Moss Empires' chain, opening on 7 November 1892.
Designed by the great British theatre architect, Frank Matcham, (who built the London Coliseum, among others) its décor was lavish, with elephants with Nubian riders, nymphs and cherubs in abundance on the plasterwork, and it seated 3000 people on four levels.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DB0GAF - Wheat is a cereal grain, originally from the Levant region of the Near East and Ethiopian Highlands, but now cultivated worldwide. In 2010, world production of wheat was 651 million tons, making it the third most-produced cereal after maize (844 million tons) and rice (672 million tons). Wheat was the second most-produced cereal in 2009
world production in that year was 682 million tons, after maize (817 million tons), and with rice as a close third (679 million tons).
This grain is grown on more land area than any other commercial food.
World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. Globally, wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein in human food, having a higher protein content than other major cereals, maize (corn) or rice. In terms of total production tonnages used for food, it is currently second to rice as the main human food crop and ahead of maize, after allowing for maize's more extensive use in animal feeds.
Wheat was a key factor enabling the emergence of city-based societies at the start of civilization because it was one of the first crops that could be easily cultivated on a large scale, and had the additional advantage of yielding a harvest that provides long-term storage of food. Wheat contributed to the emergence of city-states in the Fertile Crescent, including the Babylonian and Assyrian empires.
Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat and steamed breads, biscuits, cookies, cakes, breakfast cereal, pasta, noodles, couscous and for fermentation to make beer, other alcoholic beverages, or biofuel.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival.
No, not a typical Saturday night on any British high st, but ladies from the Threesome Theatre looking sexy to attract punters like flies to their flyers advertising 'Berlin Cabaret'. It was on 20-25th August 2012 at The Space On The Mile V39 (venue 39, you are due a Deuchars now arent you??).
As the blurb says 'as our emcee takes you on a journey of decadence and ignorance, let the cabaret girls and boys entertain you in our own slice of 1930's Berlin. Threesome theatre spotlights Berlins cabaret from the day the curtain went up in 1901 to the Nazi regime tore it down. Featuring throbbing music, enticing dancing and naughty original songs.
'Shocking, lewd satire wrapped up in a great performance....'
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Morgan and West, spiffing fun! Lying, Cheating Scoundrels got rave reviews. A lovely couple of 'coves' I found them to be. Read more of a review here:
An intimate, late-night affair, Lying Cheating Scoundrels is not really a magic show in the traditional sense. With just 20 seats around a large semi-circular card table, Morgan and West recount various stories of their exploits throughout history, such as beating Charles Darwin at poker, and playing pontoon on the Titanic. The story of sudden death happy families, hitherto a closely guarded secret, must be heard to be believed.
In essence, this is an hour of watching two incredibly skilled entertainers count cards, play parlour tricks and, a lot of the time, explain exactly how they are doing it \u2014 or at least how they will tell you they did it. The rapport between the two is so effortless that the audience instantly feels relaxed and in friendly company.
An excellent campaign to their bigger stage show, this smaller performance shows the versatility of the two performers, and their immense skill. The sleight of hand on display is nothing short of remarkable, making the oldest of tricks seem as if it were brand new.
The duo will be taking this show to other festivals and, if all goes to plan, bringing it back to Edinburgh next year. Do yourself a favour, and see one of the most interesting magic shows around.
As the blub says 'Welcome to the internet home of dashing duo of deception Morgan &
West, the world\u2019s finest time travelling Victorian magic act. Here you will find a veritable wealth of information about the chaps including who they are, what they do, and where they can be found doing what they do (and being who they are). Whatever your magical entertainment needs, Morgan &
West are at your service and only a telegram or carrier pigeon away'. Checkout more at www.morganandwest.co.uk/

Was it a rare trip north to address the Scots nation to plead with Alex Salmond to not leave the union? Maybe a ploy to drum up more Scottish Tories. Famously as they say, there are more pandas at Edinburgh zoo than tory MP's up here.

Are you looking for love and romance? August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's no shortage of scaryness and satire here!.
Call Me is a play starring Sarah Adams, Christine Clare, Laura Cope, Claire Dean, Katie McArdle and Matthew Stead which was performed at Sweet Grassmarket @ 10:10pm for 70 minutes, on most days during August 2012.
As the blurb says:
By The Slice Theatre Company Presents Call Me! Sponsored by www.TheatreLoverDating.co.uk
Writing and producing together for the first time, sisters Sarah Adams and Becky Adams are heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year with their play, dating comedy Call Me!, which received rave reviews and a sell-out run in Manchester last year.
Inspired by the likes of Victoria Wood and Dawn French, writer Sarah Adams has formed new theatre company By The Slice to produce a cringe-worthy yet affectionate romantic comedy alongside her film producer sister Becky. By The Slice invites the audience to come and rejoice with them at the ridiculousness of love and dating! What better way to get over your latest dating disaster than to be able to laugh at someone else's ludicrous misfortunes? Yet on this rollercoaster of humiliation and hilarity, we also unexpectedly find a new humility for love.
Taking all of the available Manchester cast with them, By The Slice will also be introducing some new faces as well as new-to-theatre director Dan Wilson whose credits include directing Sir Ian McKellen and Status Quo in Coronation Street, EastEnders, BBC's Land Girls and 32 Brinkburn Street, and feature film The Roundabout.
Sarah is joined in By The Slice by her sister, Producer Becky Adams. 'Of course initially I was introduced to Call Me! because it's my sister that has written it, but it was clear immediately how funny, engaging and close-to-the-bone the script was, and how well it connected with audiences, and so I quickly got my company Reelscape Productions involved!' says Becky.
Call Me! follows three women on an exposing comedy journey through their all too familiar relationship mishaps. Fed up with their bizarre relationships, our three lead characters decide to visit hippie love therapist Sandy Morris - founder of the Love Yourself To A Love Life Worth Loving movement. This proves an adventure in itself. Meanwhile, the antithesis of the conventional relationship plays out between confident Jenny and clumsy Mike. Will they become the success story of the unexpected? Will any of our characters succeed in banishing the rough from the smooth? Not if Sandy has anything to do with it!

This piece of four star contemporary, drama theatre is performed by 'Dead Posh Productions'. At a caf\u00e9 on a railway station, housewife Laura Jesson meets doctor Alec Harvey. Although they are both already married, they gradually fall in love with each other. They continue to meet every Thursday on the small caf\u00e9, although they know that their love is impossible.....
Venue 21, The Roman Eagle Lodge, Johnston terrace, Edinburgh 02/08/2012 - 27/08/2012 except the 12th August.
As the blurb said: 'Join us for afternoon tea, as lovestruck commuters find themselves caught between a rock cake and a hard place. Tempted by something steamy? You will be chuffed if you can make it. Noel Coward's classic'.
Review by Michael Wallace:
'Great to see an almost original version of Brief Encounters. Particularly liked the way the passage of time was indicated. Even the small roles were well-portrayed. The pre-war accents were carried off with great success'.

With all those actors and buskers everywhere, nobody minds the Hare Krishna's snaking through. They fitted in rather well!
Sri Sri Khoda-Nitai Mayapura-sasha
ISKCON Scotland is based in Karuna Bhavan, Lesmahagow, which is between and slightly south of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The devotees preach throughout Scotland and Northern England, distributing books and running Namma Hatta programs and occasional festivals.
The scottish devotees are famous for their \u2018GOURANGA!\u2019 campaign.
Gouranga (the Golden one) is a name of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, an incarnation of Sri Krishna who preached the glories of the holy name (Hare Krishna) throughout India 500 years ago. The sound of \u2018Gouranga\u2019 is extremely potent spiritually, just like the Hare Krishna mantra, and whoever hears or chants this name becomes liberated.
Apart from the books of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON Scotland can also supply various \u2018Gouranga!\u2019 branded merchandise such as mugs, toys and CDs.
Note: \u2018Gouranga\u2019 is the Scottish spelling of \u2018Gauranga\u2019.

Bone Productions use an exciting combination of physical theatre, drama and dance to bring you this dark and innovative take on a classic Greek myth. The tragic story of Echo and Narcissus follows the disastrous consequences of a man falling in love with his own reflection. Rag &
Bone successfully fuse visual spectacle with the best of storytelling to explore this tale of hurt, rejection, pride and vanity. Not to be missed!'
Narcissus, is a young man blessed with untold beauty, who spurns all amorous advances, be they from citizens, nymphs, or just about anyone who can appreciate the beauty of the perfect human form. Meanwhile, talkative forest nymph Echo is tasked by Zeus to distract his wife Hera with incredible stories while he has an affair. Hera finds out and curses Echo to be able to repeat only the ends of sentences spoken to her (hence her name, Echo).
She runs into Narcissus in a forest, he rejects her fumbled echoes and she wastes away until she is nothing but a voice. Narcissus rejects one final advance of an older man by the name of Ameinus and mocks him for his futile attempts, daring him to kill himself. Ameinus does so, but curses Narcissus beforehand, resulting in Artemis bewitching Narcissus to fall in love with the next person he sees.
As he is hunting in the woods, he stops to rest by a quiet pool in a grassy clearing and falls in love with his own reflection. At a loss, he plunges in to reach the young man but drowns. A small Narcissus flower is washed up on the shore afterwards, taking its name from him.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 7478907948 - 'A shot from an excellent night at Warringtons Parr Hall (I am glad to say my local venue is upping its game) with Robert Cray and his band. I must say I had pretty much the worst seat in the place and only by blagging an empty seat in the row behind, managed to get a decent view.
The brilliant set played on the night which is apparently not aranged in advance with the band included: I shiver, Worry, The Things You Do To Me, Bad Influence, Dont You Even Care, It Doesn't Show, On The Road Down, I'll always Remember You, Phone Booth, Poor Johnny, I Can't Fail, Smoking Gun, Chicken In The Kitchen and Still A Man.
The Robert Cray UK June Tour takes in The London BluesFest 2012 at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, The Glasgow O2 ABC, Birmingham Town Hall, The Holmfirth Picturedrome, Reading Sub89 and The Brighton Concorde2 (July 2012).
Robert Cray (born August 1, 1953, Columbus, Georgia, United States) is an American blues guitarist and singer. A five-time Grammy Award winner, he has led his own band, as well as an acclaimed solo career.
Cray was signed to Mercury Records in 1982. His third album release, Strong Persuader, produced by Dennis Walker, received a Grammy Award, while the crossover single 'Smokin' Gun' gave him wider appeal and name recognition.
By now, Cray was an opening act for such major stars as Eric Clapton (who remains a friend to this day), and sold out larger venues as a solo artist. Cray has generally played Fender guitars (Telecasters and Stratocasters) and there are two signature Robert Cray Stratocasters models available from Fender. The Robert Cray Custom Shop Stratocaster is made in the United States in the Fender custom shop and is identical to the guitars that Cray currently plays, while the Robert Cray Standard Stratocaster is a less-expensive model made in Fender's Ensenada, Mexico plant.
Cray had the opportunity to play alongside John Lee Hooker on his album Boom Boom, playing the guitar solo in the song 'Same Old Blues Again'. He is also featured on the Hooker album, The Healer
he plays a guitar solo on the song 'Baby Lee'. The entire Robert Cray Band backs Hooker on the title track of Hooker's 1992 album 'Mr. Lucky', where Cray plays lead guitar, sings, and banters with Hooker throughout the song.
Cray was invited to play at the 'Guitar Legends' concerts in Seville, Spain at the 1992 Expo, where he played a signature track, 'Phone Booth'. Albert Collins was also on the bill on this blues night of the 'Legends' gigs.
Cray continues to record and tour. He appeared at the Crossroads Guitar Festival, and supported Eric Clapton on his 2006-2007 world tour. In Fargo, North Dakota, he joined Clapton on backup guitar for the Cream song 'Crossroads'. In 2011, Cray was inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame

Oi to the World! is a Christmas album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals. It was released in 1996 by their label Kung Fu Records, who also re-released it in 2000 with altered artwork and a bonus track.
It was the band's sixth full-length studio album and presented holiday-themed songs written and performed with the tongue-in-cheek humor for which the band is known.
Because Kung Fu Records itself had been formed in 1996 and was at this point still a small label, the original pressing of the album was somewhat limited and it remained relatively obscure for several years (the band's major studio albums at this time were being released by Nitro Records). The Vandals maintained a close friendship with fellow Orange County band No Doubt, who covered the album's title track 'Oi to the World' for a Christmas compilation in 1997.
Their version, which was produced by Vandals guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, received mainstream exposure and popularity and spawned a music video. Partly thanks to the exposure brought by association with No Doubt (with whom the Vandals also toured), fan interest in Oi to the World! increased and in 2000 Kung Fu Records, which by now had grown in size, re-released the album with new artwork and a bonus overture, as well as a new intro for the title track.
The Vandals are Dave Quackenbush on vox, Warren Fitzgerald on guitar, backing vocals, Joe Escalante on bass guitar, backing vocals and Josh Freese on drums.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This classic GnR track is from The Spaghetti Incident. The album was the fifth and is unique for the band, consisting entirely of cover versions, mostly of punk and glam rock songs of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was the last Guns N' Roses album to feature lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum.
The title is an inside joke referring to a food fight between Axl Rose and Steven Adler involving spaghetti. Much was made of this food fight during Adler's resolution lawsuit with the band in 1993, in which Adler's attorney referred to it as 'the Spaghetti Incident'. The meaning was explained by drummer Matt Sorum in a 1994 interview with Much Music and confirmed by Slash in his autobiography, 'Slash'.
The album has seen mixed reviews since its release. Rolling Stone magazine gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Allmusic said 'As punk albums go, The Spaghetti Incident? lacks righteous anger and rage. As Guns N' Roses albums go, it's a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction'.
Always nice to see some leather with lace.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Pride (In the Name of Love)' is a song by rock band U2. It is the second track on the band's 1984 album, The 'Unforgettable Fire', it was released as the album's lead single in September 1984. The song had been intended to be about Ronald Reagan's pride in America's military power but writer St. Bono had been influenced by Stephen B. Oates's book Let The Trumpet Sound: A Life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a biography of Malcolm X. These caused Bono to ponder the different sides of the civil rights campaigns, the violent and the non-violent.
I have an uneasy relationship with U2, I really like the early years up to Zooropa, but then I stuggle. This is one of my favourites however. I hope you enjoy it!
------------------------
Sir Ian Murray McKellen, CH, CBE (born 25 May 1939) is an English actor from near me in Burnley, living some early years in Wigan. He has received a Tony Award and two Academy Award nominations. His work has spanned genres from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction. He is known to many for roles such as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy and as Magneto in the X-Men films.
In 1988, McKellen came out and announced he was gay. He became a founding member of Stonewall, one of the United Kingdom's most influential LGBT rights groups, of which he remains a prominent spokesman. Here he wears a classic Stonewall T-shirt 'Some People Are Gay, Just Get Over It'.
He is pictured here leading the Manchester Pride 2010 carnival parade today 28th August .
The emotional feeling I get when I watch the pride march most years, is a similar one to when I hear this track. From the early 1980's when Manchester's canal street was a seedy no-go area. The area along the canal was perfect for gay men to clandestinely meet as it was dark and unvisited with shuttered pubs such as Napoleons. Manto bar started to buck that trend in 1981.
At the time there was a backdrop of less than equitable policing, led by James Anderton. His appointment as Chief Constable of Greater Manchester was announced on October 23, 1975. Anderton frequently courted public controversy with his outspoken views on policing and morality. As a professed Christian who claimed to speak with the supreme being regularly and who characterised himself to be an instrument of divine judgement.
Anderton came to be known as 'God's copper'. This led to the press and the public questioning his mental health and capability to perform his job appropriately. He was often in conflict with the city's political leadership during the 1980s, especially over his views on homosexuality and AIDS: he declared that homosexuality should be illegal, and he referred to homosexuals and those with AIDS as 'swirling in a cesspit of their own making'.
The Happy Mondays song 'God's Cop' criticizes James Anderton (for example, 'God makes it easy/God makes is easy on me'). The John Cooper Clarke track 'Chicken Town' is also a mancunian parable on those dark days.
I for one are glad those are now behind us. We have the tolerance and freedoms that help us respect each other, regardless of sexuality, race, religion. We should all be truly thankful (amen).

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Walk on the Wild Side' is a Lou Reed song from his 1972 David Bowie produced second solo album Transformer. It namechecks taboo topics such as transsexuality, drugs, male prostitutes and oral sex and the term 'colored' to refer to African Americans, a term which was still common in that era.
The lyrics tell of a series of individuals and their journeys to New York City, and refers to several of the regular 'superstars' at Andy Warhol's New York studio, The Factory, namely Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Joe Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis and Joe Campbell (referred to in the song by his nickname Sugar Plum Fairy). Candy Darling was also the subject of Reed's song 'Candy Says'.
The saxophone solo played over the fadeout of the song was performed by Ronnie Ross, who had previously taught David Bowie to play the saxophone during Bowie's childhood. It has been heavily covered by Echo and the Bunnymen and The Strokes to name a few.
I picked up on Reed after an introduction to the VU.

Donna' - Play this track here. An alternative track for this image from Prestwich's 'The Fall' can be enjoyed here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is a track that for me always conjours up the old 'Top Rank' Bingo clubs of 1970's and 80's Britain. Another John Peel backed track that helped me to appreciate reggae.
The young Jamaican singers Althea Forrest (17), and Donna Reid (18), caused a surprise with their one-off reggae hit single, 'Uptown Top Ranking'. It was produced by Joe Gibbs using a re-recording of the 'riddim' of the 1967 Alton Ellis' song 'I'm Still In Love', which had already been re-popularised in the 1970s by Marcia Aitken's cover 'I'm Still In Love With You Boy' and the deejay track 'Three Piece Suit' by Trinity, to which 'Uptown' was an 'answer record'. The single's UK release was on the Lightning label.
'Uptown Top Ranking' reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in February 1978, after early championing by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, but had only one week at the chart summit. The lyrics were written by the duo and Errol Thompson. Althea &
Donna thus at that time became the youngest female duo to reach the pinnacle of the UK chart.
Its been covered many times since. A sample of the 'No Pop, No Style' refrain from the record was used and formed part of the lyrics to Pop Will Eat Itself's (PWEI) 1991 single, 'X, Y &
Zee'.
------------------------
Bingo or Housey Housey as some pensioners still call it is a gambling game of unknown origin. Players mark off numbers on a ticket as they are randomly called out, in order to achieve a winning combination.
The first column contains numbers from 1 to 9, The second column numbers from 10 to 19, The third 20 to 29 and so on up until the last column, which contains numbers from 80 to 90 (the 90 being placed in this column as well).
When called, numbers often aquire the types of preambles below:
Kelly's Eye 1, One Little Duck 2, Cup of Tea 3, Knock at the Door 4, Man Alive 5, Tom's Tricks 6, Lucky 7, Garden Gate 8, Doctors Orders 9, Tony's Den 10, Legs Eleven 11, One Dozen 12, Unlucky for Some 13, Key of the Door 21, Dirty Gertie 30, Down on your Knees 43, Heinz Varieties 57.
If you fancy yourself as a bingo caller, choose a handy mirror and have a go using any of the random phrases above. Alternatively, find some Reggae online, The Bob Marley 'One Love' compilation is as good as any place to start. Tell em I sent you!

The Phoenix Brewery is in Green Lane, Heywood, Lancashire. (OL10 2EP) just outside Manchester, UK. It is a regular at my local Grappenhall beer festival and is described as a 'English Strong Ale'. It is the reason I always buy a ticket for the first night (Friday at a premium of a pound - about $1.40 or EUR 1.15) in order to ensure I try at least a few halves of it. Often by Saturday it is already finito!
As can be seen it warrants its own pump at the festival, rather than just gravity fed like the casks at the back. Here are a few tasting notes from mixed sources:
Copper coloured ... creamy white head ... rich sweet fruit nose ... soft toffee fruits ... lots of big resiny fruits ... little bitter in background.
A nut-brown beer with a light tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and nice grassy and fruity hop notes, leading to a dry grassy and grapefruity finish where notes of toffee lingers.
This beer hits the right spot each time I drink it. Big, bold &
brazen. Drinking well below it\u2019s abv. Pours gold with a soft white head. Complex flavours of hops,citrus &
some malt.Very fruity on the swallow with a suggestion of coriander and herbs in the aftertaste. A really good ale which could easily, mistakenly, be drunk as a session beer.
Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of caramel/toffee, bit of chocolate. Flavour is soft toffee, nuts, light fruity, citrus, some roasted malts. Light bitter finish. A nice start of the day.
Well, I would say a ringing endorsement there :-)

Usually for victorians it was the theatre halls where entertainment was to be had, Doubtful if Lymm had one, although performances were regularly given by theatre troupes, ventriloquists, hypnotists, poets, comedians, choirs and orchestras. Entertainers like this may have travelled in with a circus when it came to town and set up in parks and public places.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4083459935 - 'A carved orange pumpkin (Squash) ready for use at the festival of Halloween as a lantern. Lighting provided by a sparker to produce yellow hair.
Pumpkins are commonly carved into decorative lanterns called jack-o'-lanterns for the Halloween season in North America. Throughout Britain and Ireland, there is a long tradition of carving lanterns from vegetables, particularly the turnip, mangelwurzel, or swede.
Not until 1837, however, does jack-o'-lantern appear as a term for a carved vegetable lantern, and the carved lantern does not become associated specifically with Halloween until 1866.
Although every modern chronicle of the holiday repeats the claim that vegetable lanterns were a time-honored component of Halloween celebrations in the British Isles, none gives any primary documentation. In fact, none of the major nineteenth-century chronicles of British holidays and folk customs makes any mention whatsoever of carved lanterns in connection with Halloween. Neither do any of the standard works of the early twentieth century.
In the US, the carved pumpkin was first associated with the harvest season in general, long before it became an emblem of Halloween

Streets like a jungle......
'Boys and girls' was the lead single from the 'Park Life' album. It was Blur's first top 5 UK hit and most successful single until 'Country House' reached number 1 the following year. The single was seen as a comeback for the band, who had had a lean commercial period for a couple of years. The song surpassed the band's previous commercial peak 'There's No Other Way' by three spots on the UK Singles Chart.
The video, directed by 10cc's Kevin Godley, featured Blur performing the song against a bluescreen backdrop of documentary footage people on 18-30 package holidays. Godley branded the video as 'Page 3 rubbish' while Blur found it 'perfect'. The front cover of the single was taken from a pack of Durex condoms.
In 1994, the song was named single of the year by NME and Melody Maker in the UK. It was also nominated for best song at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Everyone should own at least one Blur album, my choice would be the 'Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur'. Track it down, tell 'em I sent you.
------------------------
Manchester has a wealth of LGBT culture and activities. The sitcom drama 'Queer as folk' was set in the Canal St area of the city. 20th century broadcaster and social commentator Brian Redhead once said 'Manchester ... is the capital, in every sense, of the North of England, where the modern world was born. The people know their geography is without equal. Their history is their response to it'. Whilst Ian Brown of the Stone Roses has previously said that 'Manchester has everything except a beach' (er.. top man, bob-on!).
Manchester has claimed to have the UK's largest gay population outside of London. Gay Village, centred on the Canal Street area, is home to numerous shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. On the last weekend in August it hosts the Manchester Pride Festival (previously known as Mardi Gras and Gayfest).
Manchester's gay culture was brought to mainstream attention on television series Queer as Folk and Coronation Street. It is also the birthplace of several gay rights organisations including the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, Queer Youth Alliance, The Lesbian &
Gay Foundation.
Manchester has its own gay sports teams, Village Manchester FC (soccer), Northern Wave (swimming) and Village Spartans (Rugby) which take part in Manchester's annual Pride Games. In the 1990s Manchester City Council gave support to the establishment of a gay centre and employed four lesbians and gay men to help implement their equal opportunity policy. Their work continued in spite of Section 28 and the City Council actively supported the Mardi Gras and other gay events.
The year round gay and lesbian heritage trail exhibits Manchester's gay history. In 2003, Manchester played host city to the annual Europride festival. The Lesbian &
Gay Foundation, Britain's biggest gay charity, is based on Richmond Street in the city centre. Manchester Metropolitan University has been named the most gay friendly university in the UK.

The Littlewoods Pools Building, Edge Lane is a real Liverpool landmark.
This art-deco building was the headquarters of the Littlewoods Pools company. In its heyday this building held thousands of workers but since the decline in popularity of 'doing the pools' the listed building now lies empty, possibly awaiting conversion to apartment. Another victim of the national Lottery. The other was Littlewood's bitter rival, Vernons.
A Liverpool Echo Newspaper Article earlier this year, in May 2012 suggested this iconic building could face demolition if a new use for it cannot be found.
'The huge art-deco complex has been empty for more than a decade and several attempts to regenerate it have failed to get off the ground. The council will now meet with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to discuss a strategy for a number of sites along Edge Lane.
Sources told the ECHO that the land occupied by the 1930s Littlewoods building, next to Liverpool Innovation Park, will be high on the agenda.
While the HCA said an unnamed developer was keen to put forward proposals, it added there was \u201climited time\u201d to fund the refurbishment of the building and no formal agreement had been reached.
Cllr Malcolm Kennedy, cabinet member for regeneration, today said he wanted to secure a future for the landmark building.
Heritage experts also said it was surprising the building had never been given listed status, but a new use could be found for the site if its most iconic elements could be saved.'
Cllr Kennedy said: \u201cWe are looking at all sites up the Edge Lane corridor, including the innovation park, and there will be a concentrated effort between the two organisations.
\u201cThe Littlewoods building is not listed, although there have been attempts to do so.
\u201cWe would want to keep it because it is quite an iconic building \u2013 a Liverpool landmark. But it is going to be a struggle because the building is deteriorating quickly.\u201d
