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 ☔️

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. newhumanist.org.uk/articles/…
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 👇
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!

@lisanandy @10DowningStreet @DCMS
🎧 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…

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.

🎭Culture is a major growth sector, generating £160bn for the economy.
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 🎨
Last week, @TracyBrabin @MayorOfWY joined us @theleedslibrary to celebrate @WestYorkshireCA's groundbreaking approach to culture and creative industries🎬
Watch the event and read our key learnings for examples of good practice across the region🙌
