We are excited to reconnect with our communities and partners to bring a weekend of events and commissions for June 2023.

    We are looking for someone with a track record of delivering and coordinating arts events, in collaboration with partners and community members, to help bring our traditional Parade event to life in June 2023.

    Rock music photography exhibition

    Manchester Central Library, St Peters Square, City Centre, Manchester, M2 5PD

    Oasis at Maine Road © Jill Furmanovsky

    Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has endorsed and co-curated a new exhibition in Manchester celebrating the work of rock photographer Jill Furmanovsky.

    For the last 50 years, Jill Furmanovsky has been photographing music’s greatest icons. Now, for the first time, her work is the centrepiece of a fantastic retrospective exhibition ‘Photographing the Invisible’ at Manchester Central Library displaying some of her most famous works and hidden gems from her extensive archive.

    And as an extra bonus for Oasis fans, the exhibition is guest curated by Noel Gallagher and photo-historian Gail Buckland. The show, presented by Rockarchve.com, runs for ten weeks and features over 80 images. Subjects include Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, The Police, Bob Marley, Chic, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, The Cure, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, The Pretenders, Beyonce, to name just a few.

    Throughout the exhibition, visitors will be drawn into Jill’s unique relationship with her subjects and the emotive quality of her work. Bringing the stories behind the imagery closer, an audio tour narrated by Jill will be available for visitors to access through their own headphones.

    The highlights included her work in the 80s for the magazines like Smash Hits and The Face, taking on board how a more colourful and video-influenced medium music had become in the early MTV era.

    Yet it doesn’t take anything away from her ‘meditations from the pit’ that capture the sheer joy and exuberance of live photography, intimate on-the-road shoots carried out for the ‘inky’ music press of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. There are sensitive images of reclusive subjects such as Jeff Buckley, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan, as well as open-armed collaborations with Chrissie Hynde, Madness, and her greatest muse, Oasis, for whom Jill has dedicated a whole section of previously unseen images.

    The Oasis collection really highlights the obvious mutual respect between Jill and artists that has made her one of the most celebrated photographers of her time.

    As Noel Gallagher says of Jill: “All the great portraits, they’re shot with love and respect for the artists. She’s the best.”

    What makes the exhibition special is that it’s the first stop in an international tour, but launching in Manchester – a city which holds a special place in her own history due to the many local bands she has covered over her career, not only Oasis, but Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, and The Smiths.

    Cllr John Hacking, Executive Member for Skills, Employment and Leisure, said of the exhibition at Manchester’s Central Library: “Her connection with the city through her work with Manchester bands is clear and there is no better place to showcase her work than Manchester, a city which has such a rich and diverse music scene.”

    The exhibition is being sponsored by MPB, Hipgnosis Song Management Ltd and BIMM Institute Manchester and Yvonne Gordon.

    The exhibition is on first floor exhibition space, Manchester Central Library, 15th April – 24th June 2023, St Peters Square, City Centre, Manchester, M2 5PD

    Cheshire East ranger events – June 2023

    May is flying along and we are heading quickly towards summer!

    At a number of our sites in the north of Cheshire East, the Bollin Valley Partnership conservation grazing cattle have returned to help manage our grasslands. This low-level grazing helps us to improve the diversity of these sites and increase the number of wildflowers. The photo above shows a recent addition to the herd at the partnership farm in Styal.

    Please do keep your dogs under close control around livestock whenever you are enjoying a walk in the countryside.

    This month’s events are a great mix of walks, water sports, painting, climbing, foraging, conservation tasks and even music! We hope to see at some of our events this June.

    The Full Monty

    Buxton Opera House, Buxton, Derbyshire

    There are no heroes in Simon Beaufoy’s heartfelt play, just a group of lads trying to regain their dignity and pride.

    This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as again we are hit by a cost-of-living crisis. Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.

    As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the film on a major national tour.

    Featuring a hot man for everyone! Starring Danny Hatchard (EastEnders, Ridley Road, Our Girl, SCROOGE) as Gaz, Jake Quickenden (Footloose, Hair, X Factor, Dancing on Ice) as Guy and Bill Ward (Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as Gerald, with Neil Hurst (Fat Friends the Musical, All Creatures Great and Small, Coronation Street) as Dave, Ben Onwukwe (The Shawshank Redemption, Professor T, Marcella) as Horse and Nicholas Prasad (Around the World in 80 Days, The Comedy of Errors, Doctors) as Lomper.

    Book now to relive the music of the 90’s and have a great night out in the company of our group of lads as they work to put on the show of their lives.

    When it comes to keeping you entertained this lot go The Full Monty!
