Ursula Rae - On the Margins of Manchester...

Oh how important small scale activity is to Manchester. This I realised after this talk.

After Dave Haslam’s 45 minute or so talk, all I wanted to do was go out and explore the un-known places, the hideaways, the small secretive art spaces, hidden music venues, the cultural activity on the margins of Manchester.

Some of these places and things to explore:

~ Kraak Gallery - Drunk at Vogue (club night)

~ Vogue fanzine, OWT fanzine, CITYFUN fanzine..... interesting little low budget reads.

"Small world away from the mainstream, instigates new ideas...." 

"Small cells of people"

Key points to think about further - 

~Making use of the unused spaces, empty, seeminly forlorn, possibly even unusuable for any other     purposes

~Small scale doesn't necessarily mean unsuccessful
