Standing still

Standing still

This bloke was stood motionless on the Arndale steps as the wheel went round. By the time I got my camera ready though he'd moved off, but one friendly request later and he very kindly stood still again (in the freezing cold!) for a couple of minutes while I took some shots.

Chatting afterwards, I discovered this to be none other than Chris Jenkins of Salford City Radio! Chris was taking a real interest in what I was up to and even said he'd give me a shout on his show (Tuesdays, 2-4pm).

So I urge you all to tune in to Salford City Radio online on Tuesday and catch the big moment. And Chris, hope you can see this! Let me know if you'd like a copy of the photo - you'll be very welcome.

Born To Perform

Born to Perform runs on Saturdays from 9-12 for children aged 7-16. We run for an average 12 week term and use up to 3 weeks for confidence building and technique and the remaining weeks working towards a performance shown back to family and friends on week 12.

The main difference between us and other fee paying stage schools is that we are affordable, most range from £260-300 per 12 week term - ours is £120 (this amounts to just £3.33 per hour). We are also not into promising stardom. We set realistic goals and maintain that the academy is about growing and development and not becoming famous.
