Channel M Breakfast Show interview 1: Manchester Mega-Photo

Thu ,07/08/2008

On Tuesday 5 August, I was invited to appear on the Channel M Breakfast Show to talk about my Manchester Mega-Photo.

I talked about how the idea came about, how I took the photos from the top of the Beetham Hilton Tower, how the Manchester cityscape has changed, and about my plans for the future. They also showed a selection of photos from my archive.

It was great fun and an excellent opportunity to spread the word about my photography.

Just before the interview, I met and briefly spoke to New York-based singer Rachael Sage, who was performing in Manchester that evening. She appeared on the show just after me.www.rachaelsage.com, www.myspace.com/rachaelsage.
