	Grit Band on Manchesterbeat - the group and music scene of Manchester in the 60's
		They started at Manchester University with "Screaming Lord Sutch" on a Saturday afternoon, then played the "Bolton Octagon Theatre" in the evening, then "Las Cuevas" Chorlton late evening where they gigged for free but were always fed and watered "a la carte" until the early hours.
		One night they played at "Leeds Civic Theatre" but it wasn't until they'd set up on stage that they realised the agency who shall remain nameless, had wrongly booked them to headline a "cultural evening of poetry, dance and music" which was being recorded by a BBC outside broadcast unit....
		They were soon offered a deal with Manchester Production Company "lce" who had links to Granada TV Studios where they were booked to film an outdoor concert for the 1973 "Manchester Festival" celebration which they did but they declined the recording offer and missed their chance of National recognition.

	Fringe Fusion: /By Jeff Johnson..The Global Guy..page1
		Formed during the 1993-94 Manchester City of Drama Festival, Black Actors Development Theatre is the brainchild of Andy Burke, a native Mancunian actor and producer active in film, radio and repertory since 1989.
		Except that these plays, while dealing with sensitive racial issues and providing quality roles for fl actors in the area, are particularly American and do not directly address the situation of fls in Britain.
		The next project, for instance, entitled "Black Love," scheduled for February 2000 at The Green Room, is a multi-media, non-linear script (still in development) by local writer Michael Harvey that explores the lives of gay fls in Manchester.

	Recreating Blake’s Illuminated Prints: The Facsimiles of the Manchester Etching Workshop
		The Manchester Etching Workshop, located on the top floor of a Victorian clothes warehouse in a now unfashionable area of Manchester, England, was set up in 1978 by Paul Ritchie with some assistance from the Arts Council of Great Britain.
		His most recent sets of etchings, produced in small editions, are concerned mainly with landscapes and interiors, with color used in the manner of monoprints; unlike Blake’s, these plates are very large and lightly etched, allowing the coloring, wiping, and plate tones to be flexible and thereby—as in Blake’s prints—critical to each separate impression.
		To make the booklet more widely available—and affordable to scholars—125 numbered copies have been issued separately with a monochrome impression printed without borders in light brown ink; print and booklet are enclosed in a dark brown cloth-covered folder with Blake’s monogram stamped in gold on the front cover and cost $35.

		I was in the middle year of my degree course at Manchester Polytechnic (as it was then!) when I woke up to Clause 28 (wasn't it called 'clause' at the beginning??)
		At the time, I was an arts student, I had escaped the Shropshire countryside, gone away to college in a 'big' city and now was having damn good fun.
		That really was the first time that this 'farmgirl' had seen so many people especially the 'queer' sort...and I suppose that was 'the event' which awoke me to lesbian and gay politics.
