Have you got tickets for our event on the 29th of December yet?! Cathedral of Culture is an event celebrating the cultural history of @CovCathedral featuring a restored recording of Celebration, the television programme of Duke Ellington’s 1966 performance in the same location.

Welcome to Ghost Town.

[Ghost Town Coventry @CovGhostTown]

The city haunts the television archive, present in the programmes, clips, and people that populate our small screen histories.

But we don't need a seance to make contact with the ghostly city - we just need to turn on our televisions.

Every town is a ghost town: haunted by the people, buildings, businesses, shops, and stories that no longer remain.
