Drinking in the City

This Sunday (4th September) the Loiterers Resistance Movements monthly wander around town was recorded for Manchester Mule and Redbricks Radio.
Host Morag Rose took walkers on a ‘beer’ tour of the city. A pub crawl but without the drinking, looking at the history of drinking in the city and the different attitudes (political and social) that shape the city center and Manchester’s drinking culture.

This tour looks at the impact of alcohol on the streets, telling tales of Manchester’s lost pubs, prohibition, moral panics, class struggles, casualties, criminals, romantic liaisons, famous raconteurs and comedy encounters facilitated by booze.

 

From Piccadilly gardens hear the group travel down Oldham street to discuss some of the cities most famous bars. Into Ancoats to talk about class and the social history of drinking. Around the printworks to talk about commercialization, to the Cathedral gardens to talk about sanitized spaces and ironic advertising before finishing in St Annes Square.

Blue Fuzz Mix for Redbricks Radio

This mix is from a Midlands isolation tank. With out the distraction of the Mancunion way meters away, I get kind of blue.

Radical Education discussion at OK Cafe

This recording was a workshop in the form of a Radio show which happened on the 15th December 2010 at the OK Cafe, a squatted cafe space in central Manchester.

The idea was to do a skill share on popular education, widen it out to informal learning and have a bit of a reflection on what we liked and didn’t about learning.

Disregarded Divas radio show



A take on divas of the 80s and 90s and an attempt to give them the credit they deserve from mick fuzz and anna helme.

Whilst some Divas get fame and recognition as well as millions of adoring fans, other female starlettes are doomed to be exploited and forgotten. The 90’s was surely the best and the worst of times for some of the Divas we look at in tonight’s show on Redbricks Radio.

We weep and share the ecstasy of some leading ladies.

These are some early test recordings of Random Radio the Sister project of Redbricks Radio –

This recording isn’t even really a pilot. It was a practice for us to use the radio equipment. It turned into an hour long show where we didn’t really know what we were talking about. But the music is good. Hope you like it! Download it here :
