Manchester Pavillion

02/07/07

Visit the futuristic cube, known as 3Rooms, which has been plonked, Tardis-like, onto the pavement outside Manchester Central to find a veritable hive of industry inside...

I meet up with Carl, the man in charge of the PlayStation operation in Manchester, and talk through my involvement in the project.

Afterwards I go for a quick drink in the festival teepee, sorry, pavilion and catch a marvellous teatime performance by the 17-piece Royal Northern College of Music Gospel Choir.

“I'm a bit moved actually, after that,” says the woman in charge. Me too.

Isn't that Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm over there? I think about doing a 'stop and chat' but decide against it.
