The Trees Not Cars campaign is making a renewed push for some much needed green space in central Manchester. They've been pushing for the former Central Retail Park in Ancoats (on Great Ancoats Street, right next to a Primary School) to be made into a park. The council thinks we need new offices and don't care about the extra pollution or the quality of life for those living nearby.
#Manchester trams are lively enough during football matches, but having a Barry Manilow concert next door to it at the same time will make them 'interesting' - I guess they'll be tram fulls of drunks singing Copacabanaaaaaaaaa.
@ChorltonArtsFestival Unofrt I won't be there since it's quite a distance :catblush: But I have shared the post, hopefully it'll help a bit :blobcathearts:
Most of the gigs we go to are 12 people watching a folk singer in a pub backroom - so it was a little different 🤣 They're probably the only band that I could be bothered to go to an arena to see.
It was a huge amount of fun and great musical performances too. The support act (Dave Hill) was really funny too.
