#PhoenixCity2021 an hallucinatory journey thru Coventry's post-Blitz modernist architectural vision, to the cultural melting pot of the Eclipse club circa '91, landing in the realities of UK City of Culture today. Last chance to see - screening at @The_Herbert last day 6th Feb.

#CoventryCathedralBBCFour that was good! Nice finishing with Telstar, Joe Meek echo from the Locarno, and nod to the BBC's Delia.

Sad loss, The Originator. Version Galore...
RIP ...U Roy👑 We have lost a pioneering icon of Jamaican music culture, Ewart Beckford known as Daddy U Roy, the God Father of Dancehall. His legendary ‘toasting’ on sound systems is the precursor to today’s Deejays & Rappers. Thankful @IrishandChin honoured him in 2019🙏🏾

Real ale is made with JUST four ingredients – water, hops, barley and yeast. Yet not one single beer tastes the same. And there are hundreds to try. Here at Byatts alone we brew over 20 different brews all with a totally different taste. buff.ly/3piwgPP

#MeetTheBoard Eleanor Cook is a PhD candidate @covcampus "I'm delighted to be selected for the Photo Miners Board as I'm particularly interested in how photographic collections can bring out hidden stories of communities who are traditionally excluded from the historical record."

We wanted to introduce this change to emphasise our collaborations with practising and emerging photographers, whilst continuing to dig into archives with local communities. 2/2

Today we are excited to reveal a rebrand and shiny new logo in advance of Coventry’s year as City of Culture! For the past 4 years we have been known as Photo Archive Miners but from today we will be changing to Photo Miners. 1/2

The arts and culture sector across our city, region and country is #MoreThanViable. It's full of highly skilled, passionate people who challenge the norm and move audiences every day. We're standing with them all today because we wouldn't be a City of Culture without them.

nice..
Beer of the week this week is..Coventry Bitter.First beer we ever brewed and is a classic for a reason. Light Amber Session Ale. Earthy, grassy with hints of citrus and a lingering fuggly bitterness.
