Ideas worth fighting for
Reopening Thursday 3 December 2020. People’s History Museum (PHM) in Manchester is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future.

Anybody within striking distance of Salford???
After the fabulous success of the Wrexham and Liverpool sessions, this COULD be Salford/Manchester's event of the year! (More or less). Just let me know if you can be there in case we decide to splash out on Spanish tortilla.
Venue still provisional: Unite Office, QuaysideHouse, Merchants Quay, Salford M50 3SU. But the event is definite: Wednesday 15th September, 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.
Launch (and anniversary) party for the tenth novel and a "blow your mind" presentation about the #spanishcivilwar heroes who carried on the fight against Hi**er and Mussolini all through the Second World War.
From Casablanca to Brazzaville, from Normandy to the Liberation of Paris. The stranger than fiction aftermath of the #SpanishCivilWar that's been airbrushed from history.
A quiz - the celebrity entertainers who spied for the Allies.
The weird tale of the BBC's V for Victory campaign.
The household names who helped finance Hi**er.
Prepare to be amazed!
All this and maybe free finger food too!
Finish by 8.00pm.
Take care, stay safe and let me know.
This would be right up your street.
Is this a museum of Communism ???????????

THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY LONGSTAFF
Featuring songs from the original album alongside new material and stunning animation, Teesside folk trio The Young’uns perform a new, theatrical version of The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff.
This is the true story of one man’s journey from poverty and unemployment in Stockton on Tees, through the Hunger Marches of the 1930s, the mass trespass movement and the Battle of Cable Street, to fighting fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
In a timely, touching and often hilarious musical adventure, follow the footsteps of a working class hero who chose not to look the other way when the world needed his help, and took part in some of the momentous events of the 1930s.
Directed by Lorne Campbell, Northern Stage presents a musical celebration of northern working class activism, following the smash-hit success of The Last Ship.
