Re:Sound with Antony Szmierek
The Manchester City of Literature Re:Sound project pairs musicians with archives around Greater Manchester.
The artists connect with librarians and archivists to uncover historic material which explored a range of themes that have so far included Manchester’s textile history, African celebrations in Manchester and the changing role of women in society.
These musicians then work with local community groups to respond to the music and create their own showcase based on what inspires them.
Join BBC 6 Artist of the Year Antony Szmierek to hear all about the archives at Manchester Libraries.

      It's a slightly jokey colloquialism that you will probably hear between friends. You won't hear it in a formal speech or lecture. YT videos made in other anglophone countries often throw up expressions that I have not heard before, sometimes things I don't even understand.

    You ripped west Gorton apart. Can i ask why you spent 7 million pounds for 5 year, then not long afyer Shameless came out you destroyed it. I lived in a place called longnor walk ' The Square '... i lived there from 75 till 1990. I miss the old west gorton , i suppose we were were rougher than the rest hast it was all maisonettes an high rises, an industrial estates. By time they were getting rid of all buildings an industries, its was dangerous but i loved it, it was dangerous at times as west gorton kind of connected to fort Ardwick in longsight. Yes id love to know all that money was spent, then pulled the plug. I herd it was the embarrassment once it was sold to yanks. Either way you blew a lot of money and we would still have a West Gorton.

    I was very glad to hear him talking about who were the workers who kept this country going during the pandemic, bus drivers, bin men, nurses and Doctors. Here in Lancashire all libraries remained open if not to stop in and browse but they did still offer there ordered books service and made up genre bags of six books on different themes, this meant that books were still available to the public. I admire the librarians who continued to work and kept those vital lifelines for some people open. Currently they are running a keep wrm initiative o help people through the cost o living crisis, apparently not all brilliant buisnessmen work in the private sector but many work for the library services.
