SUMMARY:Just Add Water - David Gaffney and Sarah-Clare Conlon
DESCRIPTION:Poetry and prose about the sea\, from lighthouses and oilrigs to shorebirds and whales \nJoin writers Sarah-Clare Conlon and David Gaffney for a literary celebration of all things aquatic. \nDavid Gaffney was writer in residence for The Whale project\, an interactive live theatre installation in Whitehaven\, Cumbria\, that offered a strange real-but-imagined encounter with a beached whale. During his residency\, David produced a series of short stories inspired by the whale and people’s interactions with it\, and these are all collected in his latest book\, Whale\, published by Osmosis Press\, which David will read from. \n“Playful\, vividly unexpected\, funny\, these are short\, sharp stories that stick deep in the heart and the mind and won’t be shaken out” – Jacob Polley \n“I can think of few things more delightful than reading David Gaffney’s dark\, funny\, tiny\, enormous stories riffing on the idea\, the dream\, the tales of whales” – Tania Hershman \nSarah-Clare Conlon has been writer in residence at Manchester’s Victoria Baths and on board the canalboat Furor Scribendi\, and will read her recent poetry with watery themes.

SUMMARY:‘Made in Manchester’ - An Evening with Brian Groom
DESCRIPTION:A rich and vivid history of Britain’s second city through the people who made it \n‘What Manchester thinks today\, England thinks tomorrow.’ \nLong before Manchester gave the world titans of industry\, comedy\, music and sport\, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the ‘shock city’ of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation\, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too\, with the world’s first stored-program computer\, Baby. \nA city as radical as it is revolutionary\, Manchester has always been a political hotbed. The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence. Manchester’s spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too\, bringing the world Anthony Burgess\, L.S. Lowry\, Jeanette Winterson\, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you’ll find fans\, and opinions. \nUntil now\, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From the author of the bestselling Northerners\, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people.
