Birmingham & sunshine

Hi everyone, thanks for making last Friday's trip to Birmingham so enjoyable. I'm sure you all agree it was an excellent, thought provoking & culturally rich day, even without the studio visit.

Below is the image of the day...just before a number of our team became TV stars of the future in the BBC studio recording room! A special word of thanks to Kaseiena for feeding us all outside the IKON as we had our group soirèe in the sunshine.
All the best.

Soundslides

Soundslides are a wonderful collection of documentary films created by Nick Hand. These 'conversations' are inspired by craftspeople & his journey around the UK, the collection is a lovely idea and the films are beautifully crafted.

I need to go to Dublin next year to visit Puca Press, it looks great!
