Julys First Sunday

Hello everyone and merry July

Its First Sunday this Sunday and as previously mentioned our dérive has time shifted away into the week as I'll be be in a field somewhere listening to music and various others are drifting elsewhere too so it's time for one of our occasional week day wanders. We'll meet on Tuesday 8th July 6pm at the Sandbar on Grovesnor Street and go for an evening stroll. I hope to see you there

ps last month we played with game peices reclaimed from car manufacturing,. and it was a great pleasure to reclaim something to celebrate the pedestrian from the automobile. Massive thanks to John for his aquisitive powers. Like many compadres he has many interesting projects, and although its not psychogeographic if you like music I heartily recommend his website here: http://www.thejacketsamericanajukebox.co.uk/

pps if anyone wants to adopt a first sunday and create your own derive you would be very welcome, please get in touch with me for details of how

Angels and demons

You may recall Steve Millington and I facilitated a walking tour of Angel Meadow as part of Manchester Histories Festival. The event was a great success, with very positive feedback and I am delighted to let you know that we are repeating the tour on 22nd June 2014. Places are once again limited and more details can be found here:

June 2014 First Sunday: transformation

First Sunday Ahoy!

After last months rather discombobulating encounters i've got something a bit special planned for this month, an algorithmic dérive directed by a brand new game featuring peices made from cars. As we wander we'll celebrate the power of pedestrianism and our right to play on the streets....

We'll be gathering in the cafe at Manchester City Art Gallery Mosley Street, 2pm this Sunday 1st June. Everyone is welcome, if you are new just look for the pink hair and tiara. We'll set out for our wander by 2.15 so please try and be prompt, the nature of the game means I can't be sure where we will end up

Love

more adwick greenery

I'm organising another Ardwick Green histories tour on May 20th due to the overwhelming popularity of previous expeditions, its not especially psychogeographical but it does explore a fascinating area which is often overlooked. It's free but places need to be booked here: http://www.gmcvo.org.uk/ardwick-green-histories-tour

April 2014 First Sunday

First Sunday This Sunday! It's April and Spring has Sprung so it's time for some random shennanigans, it's going to be a chance based wander, more of a game than the tours I ran for the Histories festival so please be prepared to make your own map. We'll be exploring imaginary cities and indulging in a wee bit of time travel so please bring an open mind. This months meeting point has been chosen by Julie Campbell as an interesting space. Everyone is welcome to join us, 2pm this Sunday at Vivid Lounge 149a Great Ancoats Street. We'll set off by 2.15 and hope to discover wonderful things....
