What on earth is this all about, I hear you cry? Maxine versus Maggie? Well, for those of you who came along to the North West Arts & Health Network event at Manchester School of Art on Tuesday, you'll know it's an extract from the short film Maxine Peake very kindly recorded for us in which she highlighted Manchester's radical past and potential future. Full notes on the day and an edit of the film will be uploaded onto this blog very soon. For now - my biggest thanks to all of those who came and contributed - not least Maxine Peake and Dr Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt. Expect more, much more, very soon - we've only just begun.
