I came across your details when re...Good Morning,<br /><br /><br />I came across your details when researching the late playwright Shelagh Delaney. I am the founder and organiser of the newly introduced annual Shelagh Delaney Day. This day will be celebrated across the City of Salford in recognition of our critically acclaimed daughter. The official day will be held on the 25th November 2014 and every year thereafter. <br />Shelagh Delaney Day announced<br /><br />Salford is to make 25 November the city's official annual Shelagh Delaney Day in tribute to one of its most famous writers.<br /><br />City Mayor Ian Stewart has given his official support to the campaign by local resident Louise Woodward-Styles after she suggested the idea as part of the Spirit of Salford campaign.<br /><br />The day will be marked with a host of performances, exhibitions and public talks from leading experts with events and competitions held to promote young talent in the city.<br /><br />Mr Stewart said: "Shelagh's pioneering work A Taste of Honey has become one of the classic plays of 20th century drama. It's only right that her home city should officially celebrate and recognise Shelagh's work in this way - she is one of Salford's most famous daughters.<br /><br />"Shelagh once said of her home city: 'for a writer, a place like Salford is worth its weight in gold. I think it's a fabulous place, and the language is alive. It's virile. It lives and it breathes and you know exactly where it's coming from, right out of the earth.'"<br /><br /><br />Myself, Salix Homes and Salford City Council have been working together to deliver a calendar of events celebrating Shelagh’s work and life. This september we will be unveiling a plaque outside of her former childhood home in the Duchy Road area of the city. We will also be rolling out a creative writing curriculum throughout the school’s and colleges in the city. The official host venue will be the Salford Arts Theatre where we will be screening Shelagh’s feature films plus special guest Charlotte Delaney will be in attendance to discuss her mothers legacy and life. <br /><br />I was wondering if you would like to attend our official celebration on the 25th November or would like to be updated with our calendar and press releases? <br /><br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Louise Woodward-Styles<br />Shelagh Delaney Day Founder <br />cityredgirl@me.comLouise Woodward-Stylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-425809647676862522014-05-13T10:29:47.187+01:002014-05-13T10:29:47.187+01:00Johnny (Maher) Marr, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, Stev...Johnny (Maher) Marr, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, Steve Coogan, Caroline Aherne, Terry Christian, Paul Arthurs, Tony McCarroll, Gary Mounfield, Anna Friel, Mick Hucknall...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-78745576290391213452011-11-28T22:59:34.552+00:002011-11-28T22:59:34.552+00:00Looks like an interesting book.
