[Will Baldwin-Pask @willbpask]

Watched the ever-impressive @GoGo_Penguin stun their @factoryintl audience last night 👏 made me listen back to my chat with pianist Chris a couple years ago — a humble, driven bloke, just don’t ask him about Manchester rain ☔️

@JackLSimpson Thought it was very admirable of them taking a big PR hit to draw attention to Ticketmaster's tactics – surely all part of the anti-establishment plan? 🙃

Beyond chuffed to see this feature for the @NewHumanist on the page. In it, I explore the cultural craze for ‘kidulting’ and why many modern adults are tapping into nostalgia as a coping mechanism. https://t.co/HsbsUQctC4

@dmccarthysc @weoutherefest Lovely words 🥰 BUT what is that gorgeous serif type on p.2??

🎧 to the @lisanandy interview on Rest Is Politics…

She’ll be a great advocate for the North. Still v little detail on culture policy, though reviewing how funding works, esp. outside London, is on the radar.

Ideas for potential Labour impact on the arts in prev post…

[Will Baldwin-Pask @willbpask]

Some thoughts on how our new gov might affect the sector in the North... maybe not much immediate support, but more alignment with our local leaders and a funding model review are promising 👇

[The State of the Arts @TSOTArts]

What might our new @UKLabour government mean for the arts in the North? 🤔

We try to deduce how their people and policy might affect things…

Is there anything else you’re expecting from Labour? Comment your thoughts!

Last year we announced that we were leaving The Tetley building. We’d planned to open a new venue in 2024 but these plans are no longer viable.

Whilst we search for a new permanent home, we’re continuing to deliver on our mission.

It's also key to pride of place + regeneration, creating places people want to live, work + invest in.

With the right focus, now is an opportunity to nurture + grow cultural clusters across the UK 🎨
