Here comes Autumn, my favourite time of year. The nights are drawing in, the leaves are filling up Cringle Park and soon thousands of students will be descending on Manchester, all fresh faced and clutching pristine copies of ‘Grub on a Grant’. And once again we’ll have to queue in The Cod Father. But at least the noticeboard will be full to give us something to read while we’re waiting.
And in a few weeks hundreds of literary types will be heading for venues around the city for the Manchester Literature Festival. I’m especially looking forward to it this year as I’m going to be one of the MLF bloggers. I can’t wait. As always there’s an exciting line-up including appearances by Jenni Murray, Russell T Davies and Carol Ann-Duffy. The venues are also intriguing, from Matt & Phred’s Jazz Club to the Lord Mayor’s Parlour in the Town Hall. You can keep up with what’s happening on the festival blog.
Thanks so much
Good luck blogging! There’s so many good events this year, your fingers will be cramping! I’m really excited about this years fest, just a shame some events are so expensive.
