Made my annual nephew's birthday trip on Fri eve to watch the BFG at the Octagon. He's 9 now and this was perfect for his age and his favourite of the 4 he's seen. It's a great story anyway, which I loved as a kid, but was done brilliantly with puppetry, music, sound effects and very clever use of a split-level set. Sophie and the BFG were played superbly by a newcomer called Macy Newman and John Seaward who appeared in the Inbetweeners.
I'd recommend it to anyone with kids aged 8+, or younger if they don't scare easily. Or to adults of my age (40) who read the books and loved them.

Not tonight, but in July 2016. One of my mates has hatched a plan for my 50th. Hire St Greg's in Farny and turn it back into The Phoenix Club for the night. I think so. Leverend - you're on as Jerry the Berry. BP - Clinton Baptiste, Enfield - Kenny Junior (The tiger)........

Last year Alice in Wonderland
2013 Robin hood
2012 Peter Pan

All very good. Not sure what's on next year but they usually announce it a year in advance. They've got the Secret Garden on in summer too.

You can get in the fecking sea with your BFG and whatnot - I have to wait until the end of Jan before they put owt decent on. Then again, it's another Cartwright, and the last 'world premier' was dreadful.

The one after that is a sequel to the Cartwright one!

My daughter has sung there

If you're training it in to Victoria head up the other side of the Arndale between Arndale and Printworks I think...and you then get to High St on you're right.

Going watching Simply Red tonight at the Manchester Arena. After the week I have had, and not going into detail, I am looking to just listening to his great voice

Not tonight, yesterday afternoon. Went to the central library and had a wander around the art gallery and museum sections. The Bolton town permanet exhibition is interesting and well presented. In addition to a decent local history of the town, Nat's 1958 F.A.Cup winners shirt and the matchball are on display with some more Wanderers memorabilia, Lion of Vienna trophy etc. Well worth a look if you haven't been in there lately.
