Cairns Street

I was shocked to discover that the city council wants to demolish the houses around the Granby Triangle. It's a lovely area with a lot of potential.   The residents around Cairns Street and the Granby triangle are fighting to hold their community together and stop the council's  downgrading plans with initiatives such as holding a monthly street market where money raised is used to help beautify the street.  Support them if you can from here.

health education through workshops, courses, events and training. They've been cultivating a brown site along the canal since Easter.

Canal Taxi

The Canal Taxi has been doing the rounds in the canal over the summer. It is the brainchild of Dutch artist Lambert Kamps. An upside down hackney cab donated by local company Taxifix has been transformed into the vessel and his progress tracked by young people from the local area. Surely someone will put in a tender for the commercial operation of a water taxi service. It's like a hidden world.

Elvis in Kirkby re-post

ipod version


Sorry - as this is a slightly longer video than normal, I had a problem with the compression. This version should work fine. Sorry about that.

Many tributes have managed to recapture the look, the voice or the moves, but few have been able to successfully combine all three. With an electrifying stage presence, magnetic charisma,an amazing voice and even the looks - Elvis Brettini is an act not to be missed, especially in Kirkby.
