A New Storytelling Experiment

16/09/2024

Delighted to finally share that after many months of planning with Mike Joyce , we have launched an official CrowdFunder in partnership with the charity , to create a permanent mural dedicated to Andy Rourke, who sadly passed away last year after a lengthy battle with Pancreatic Cancer.

The mural will be based on the striking image credited to The Smiths’ 1985-1986 UK/USA tour photographer, Nalinee Darmrong, who has kindly given her blessing to the project. See image of the MOCK UP of the mural below.

Your donations will go directly towards the creation of this artwork. All funds raised above our target amount will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action.

We are offering limited edition of 100 x A4 prints for people who pledge £50 and 30 x A3 prints for people who pledge £100. All prints would be signed by myself and Mike Joyce.

Rainstorm is 5!! Happy Birthday to ...

To celebrate we’re hosting a special Photowalk on August 1st at 6pm, the moment when the picture was released into the world.

Simon will be taking you to the spot where the picture was taken, and discussing the moments leading up to its capture. We’ll also be able to see the changes to the city’s skyline.

Joining me will be the excellent Emma Fox Guided Tours, who will take us around the local area, telling stories of best selling music, transport and time revolutions, potatoes, Roman soldiers, the birth of Manchester, a viaduct garden, the Garrison pub and much more.

Everyone attending will get a free A4 digital print, with a handwritten message on the back.

£20, limited places - Link in bio to book tickets:

This is a wall in Manchester against which peaceful democratic reformers were crushed by the military at Peterloo for our right to vote.
This woman was the first suffragette to die for the cause, due to injuries sustained at Black Friday and from going on hunger strike in prison and being force fed. She was Mary Clarke, Emmeline Pankhurst’s younger sister. She died for our right to vote.
Tomorrow is the UK General Election, please use your hard fought for vote!

Am so shocked and sad about . Saw him with at earlier this year, brilliantly and simply communicating about how to improve your health and wellbeing. They obviously had a deep love and respect for each other. We’ve lost one of the good guys who made a difference. These slides were what they ended the show with; some practical, achievable advice. If you haven’t listened to his ‘Just One Thing’ on then give it a go, it’s brilliant for nudging us in the right direction for living healthier and happier. Love and strength to you and your loved ones ❤️
