Forever Manchester Podcast

Following the Manchester Arena terror attack on May 22nd 2017, more than 60 Manchester creatives, including Peter Saville and Malcolm Garret, came together to turn Tony Walsh's ‘This is The Place’ poem into a book. The poem, originally written for Forever Manchester, gave language to our city in a moment when it wasn’t sure what to feel and This is the Place quickly became an iconic piece of literature, spreading across the globe as a symbol of defiance, unity and love. The resulting creative collaboration has materialised as a brilliant & unique hardback coffee table book that not only marks a tragic moment in time but equally looks forward with hope for our city alongside benefitting three significant charitable funds. In this interview, James Torry from Doodledoo Motion who initiated and headed up the development of the book, talks about what has become a truly unique creative project.  For more information on the book, including where you can purchase it, please visit: http//forevermanchester.com/
