Hello.
I've been working on this new ning site for cultural listings in Manchester...
http://cultureclubsocial.ning.com/simply put, I want to list all poetry/theatre/dance/exhibitions et al in one spot.
The great feature of this site is developing the social side of it.. you see something you like, invite a friend from the network. Or once in a while a few of us may be going to an event as a group. The people involved so far are near enough all involved in the creative arts in some way...
All pretty casual... Among other smaller events, like Scratch Poets in Chorlton, Odder's mini Cine Picture Show etc, we've seen The Barber of Seville, Rachmaninov's 3rd (the one from that 'Shine' film) and Macbeth.
There's always so much going on though, so it's sometimes difficult... we're going to start doing mystery nights where we all meet up and draw the event out of a hat!! That's how much choice we've got in Manchester, it's great.
If you get time, please have a little look... if you like it, just jump on, you don't, let me know. Feedback always welcome.
Cheers,
Stu.
