We have had a fantastic afternoon learning all about one of Liverpool’s little know stars, Gordon Stratton. Thank you so much @MrsKellyx for letting us use the research you carried out @StrettonGordon last year. We will carry on spreading the word #smithdownhist

[Mrs. Kelly @MrsKellyx]

We then discovered his roots and heard the story of Gordon Stretton, the local, global music star. We asked questions and inferred ideas about his life, finally deciding why we thought he was significant today #smithdownhist @StrettonGordon @Ramble14 @SmithdownPrimY4

@MalikAndTheOGs @StrettonGordon What a great (meta) story. A fantastic case study in itself of co creation and collaboration, and that where else might we surface such stories? Many places I might think, but it requires likely persistence, curiosity and details you brought to both of your stories. Superb

[Gordon Stretton @StrettonGordon]

Your work is truly an amazing story & thank you for your kind words Malik. I can't wait to see your story get the recognition it deserves.

[Dr. David Dunkley Gyimah @viewmagazine]

Some story this. Third from the left. Television producers / directors dream
