POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For the next @a_sunday_thing I’ll be joined in conversation by Stephen Butchard, the creator and writer of the fantastic BBC drama #thiscityisours

Come along to @ukartclub to hear about the second series - coming very soon - and what it takes to be a writer at the top of the game.

Live music is from @joanna_band1990 - a band with their roots firmly in the Madchester era. (I saw them at Yes recently and they are brilliant live).

Tickets 🎫 on sale now. Only £12

For three years, purely for the shits & gigs, @iamchriswarburton has been inviting some brilliant guests into conversation -the likes of @graemepark @stan_chow @johnthomson2 @dannybrocklehurst1 @dj_paulette1 @justinmoorhouse to name but a few.

Along the way, there’s been live music from some seriously talented up-and-coming bands, plenty of laughs, great conversations and most importantly, the creation of something genuinely special.

This one was every bit as special as all the others -marking three years of ‘A Sunday Thing’ and the beginning of what has become a brilliant afternoon. This time we had the great pleasure of witnessing @ishango.bone followed by the bloody lovely @johnnie18

Here’s to the next chapter. Thanks, as ever goes to everyone involved, especially to those who work pro bono - @jasonlockphoto @jtilleycreative @gravytraindjs @a_sunday_thing
See you all in November

I’ve done 16 of these promos now for @a_sunday_thing and I love the challenge of adapting and subtly shifting the design language each time. The graphic motifs have evolved since the first series but remain connected through use of space and division of shape.

A pared back aesthetic informed by three acts coming together on the seventh day of the week has moved on to represent a two way dialogue represented by more complex arrangements. It always represents sound and it always represents the way Chris expertly engages with his guests.

It’s a passion project that has grown into something that represents a really beautiful community spirit. A small room full of people in fits of laughter with Mark Radcliffe or John Thomson. Everyone locked in to the sound of an emerging band or artist. Impeccable selections from the Gravy Train DJs to see out the evening.

As Sundays go, the team have got a really, truly great thing going here.

Well the 23rd @a_sunday_thing was rather special.

I’ve known @nickyaacampbell for over 20 years. He’s been a huge influence on me as a radio presenter in that time, so it was a real treat to spend an hour speaking to him about his life and career.

And it was fantastic to welcome back the incredible talent that is @mattwildemusic - Matt’s keys and @aaronwoodmusic on trumpet were the perfect Sunday afternoon vibe.

And my main man Colin @gravytraindjs bringing the tunes as ever.

Thanks as always to everyone who makes the whole thing happen & to everyone who comes along and creates such a great atmosphere. I really value the support. It’s all about bringing something extra to the community at the end of the day.

Next Sunday Thing will be September 20th. Tickets on sale soon.

Yes that’s right, I did bring live hip hop to Heaton Moor, Stockport for the 21st @a_sunday_thing

And yes that’s right, we were in the presence of Manchester music royalty - someone embedded in the DNA of this country’s music history.

And yes, I was a brave little trooper to host the event just two weeks after hernia surgery.

The amazing Meduulla & her DJ @ethanhillbeats gave us such a fantastic set - blowing up the spot, etc. Playing @bandonthewall April 1st if you get a chance

And what an honour to spend time talking to Stephen Morris - a remarkable life in music as drummer for @officialjoydivision and @neworderofficial an absolute treat talking to someone whose influence runs so deep

My main man Colin S @gravytraindjs bringing the disco and house vibes

Just a great afternoon! The next Sunday Thing will be Sunday May 10th featuring the RETURN of THE LEGEND @graemepark with a 2 hour set - and a run down of the highs and lows of his incredible career + music from funk/punk 6 piece @flatmoonband

Tickets on sale soon.

Thanks as always to the AST crew:

Just coming up for air after the 20th edition of the Sunday live music and In Conversation session that I curate and host @ukartclub where I live in Heaton Moor.

I’m very proud and very grateful that we’ve been doing @a_sunday_thing for over two years now. Mark Radcliffe was the perfect guest to get us to number 20 and @transmission_towers were the awesome live soundtrack.

We will return on Sunday March 8th with Joy Division and New Order drummer, Stephen Morris, our guest In Conversation + live jazz infused hip hop from Manchester rapper, @meduulla - tickets on sale soon.

We’ve had a pretty amazing roll call of In Conversation guests since we began: (I’ll do our musicians another day!)
