I feel somewhat of a dinosaur given that this is my first ever blog. I'm not one for embracing technology too easily, always thinking it's beyond me and then once I try it, realizing its not so bad after all. So this is my try-out, but what to put in it?

And So It Begins

It was good to meet up with everyone in Manchester yesterday to talk about NTW10. Really looking forward to see what we will create for the Butetown show.

This is a short documentary…

Following on from our Soul Exchange Workshop earlier this month where young creative leaders from Contact in Manchester shared ideas and experience with their counterparts from Butetown in Cardiff we are really pleased to be sending… Continue

In the sessions we got to know about the community of Bute town through creative exercises which had us speaking to the people on the streets of Cardiff, and also through conversations over lunch.

It is a personal belief of mine that the best way to get to know a group of people is over a meal so we HAD to give Pizza express a visit… Continue

HATCHING. MATCHING. DISPATCHING

This is William Neil (Billyo) and his son Darren Neil.

Here I am on my third visit to Cardiff and to Butetown. I'm on a journey to find The Packet pub. I was told by a taxi driver that I would find some old people there with some old school stories about Butetown and Tiger Bay. Someone gave me the wrong directions but I suppose there's no…
