A writers' map of Manchester. Tell us your story. Gullivers, Oldham Street. The boots made her feel strange. Maybe it was the way you had to walk in them leaning back, viewing the action from a slight recline. It was like she engaged the world on different terms wearing these boots. The brain thought. It was intending to get a beer. The brain was mortified. Oh God, are you kidding me with this? Of course, the boots made sure they sat next to each other. While the two of them watched the band, the hee...

The Manchizzle: January 2014
http://www.manchizzle.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. News flash: I am not cool. I am a fraud. I am misrepresenting myself, living a double life, guilty of perpetrating an online persona that is more than a little out of whack with reality. Actually, there is a gulf so big between the two things that you could drive a fleet of Mack trucks through it. But it’s so easy now, isn’t it? We all have these virtual aliases, a pocket full of glossy digital incarnations which only resemble our real selves if you squint really hard. Is also w...

Monday, February 02, 2015. Manchester live music preview: Spring 2015. I like gigs. More accurately, I like making plans to go to gigs.

Also, sometimes I find out that my new favourite band was in Manchester last week, oh no, you weren't there? Ah, too bad they're not coming back for another year. or four. Ex Hex at Soup Kitchen, 12 February. D'Angelo at The O2 Apollo, 18 February. Sneakily dropped...

The Manchizzle: Send in the clowns: Carnivals, funfairs and Coney Island
http://www.manchizzle.com/2015/06/send-in-clowns-carnivals-funfairs-and.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Send in the clowns: Carnivals, funfairs and Coney Island. Rolled into town amid much fanfare, teasing us with tales of golden feathers and phoenixes and mythical circuses cursed to roam the earth – but we could save them! As you’d expect from Wild Rumpus, which runs the excellent Just So Festival. HOME’s much anticipated first production in its new… oh, don’t mind if I do! If you need cheering up, Coney Island is a good place to go. Set partly there, Lonesome. And they came as an...

The Manchizzle: Review: Neck of the Woods, Manchester International Festival
http://www.manchizzle.com/2015/07/review-neck-of-woods-manchester.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Review: Neck of the Woods, Manchester International Festival. Overall, I was glad I saw it, though my attention started to wander at points. But there are many things about the production, directed by Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon, that troubled me. But there was no cohesion to the story. A large portion of the script (written by Veronica Gonzalez Peña. Wonderfully adapted for television by Neil Jordan, or even Catherine Storr's Clever Polly and The Stupid Wolf. 8211;...
