Didsbury Arts Festival


Juba do Leao, Pegada, Islington Mill, 2009
On Sunday 20th of September Juba do Leao performed as part of Platform4 Festival in Picadilly Gardens, Manchester.
A warm, sunny day of amazing events. Please look up the website to see more. Outdoor events such as these are what the city centre is all about.

And from Sunday, 27th of September - Didsbury Arts Festival

Thank you to the people who turned up to La Tasca in Disbury last night. I really enjoyed the evening as it felt as if we could all become friends and have lots of things to move on to and discuss. You may not feel the same, but I felt I would love to discuss other books and films and snippets we've read or seen.
So, thanks too to the organisers of the Arts Festival. It shows up more and more how important these events are for bringing people together and opening up spaces for such discussions and sharing of interests. And locally because it is not only about what is under discussion, but about perhaps going into a venue that you may not have been in before, stepping out into a subject matter or art form you wouldn't naturally seek out, but because it is on your doorstep, you 'give it a go.'
These events open up new experiences for everyone involved.

So many thanks and I hope you enjoy the book and maybe write a few words about it...

Ruth
