Our Editor Helen Nugent loved hosting this at The Portico, #Manchester this week. She spoke to Lindsay Reade about A Continual Farewell which tells the story of the relationship between Factory Records' Tony Wilson and Lindsay. It's a beautiful book. The Portico Library #tonywilson

I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but then I turned myself around.

The 1960 film Hell is a City uses the rooftop of the Kimpton Clocktower (formerly known as the Palace Hotel) on Oxford Street in an iconic scene. Today, The Refuge is one of the most glamorous bars in #Manchester. Don't mind if we do... Kimpton
