With little over six weeks to go to the city s biggest celebration of arts and culture, residents can now snap up the first tickets to Manchester International Festival. The Festival returns across the city and online from July 1-18. From a giant sculpture of Big Ben in Piccadilly Gardens made from 20,000 books to an exhibition in the sky, much of this year’s Festival is free to attend - with more work than ever in public spaces around the city.
Jamz Supernova is launching a new podcast, DIY Handbook, kicking off on 24th May.
A first for the BBC 6 Music and 1Xtra regular, and former BBC Radio 1 host, confirmed guests include producer Toddla T, entrepreneur Ciara Madden, broadcaster June Sarpong, and Zubin Irani, manager of acclaimed singer-songwriter, Jorja Smith.
A range of topics will be covered in eight weekly episodes, ranging from diversity and trauma to successful team relationships. The first instalment focuses on The Art of Persistence , featuring British Olympic gold medallist Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Through a collection of conversations and real-life anecdotes with a range of brilliant business and creative minds, I take the lessons I’ve learned and dissect that experience with people I admire. In a world that praises perfection and overnight success, we’ll aim to be painfully honest, personal and practical! Welcome to my DIY Handbook,” Jamz Supernova said of the idea behind the podcast.
