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."

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.

I took the @nytimes for a bike ride around Coventry. Before it was the UK’s motor city, it was a cycling city. I want to help make it a cycling city once again. nytimes.com/2020/08/10/world…

A Push to Return U.K.’s ‘Motor City’ to Its Cycling Roots (Published 2020)

Coventry can be forbidding for cyclists. But before it became Britain’s Detroit, the city was famed for making bicycles.

The footage streaming in from Minsk, in spite of an internet blockade and reports the army has been deployed against protesters, is just incredible

Just heard that Kay Bateman (known to Fall fans as Kay Caroll) has died. She was a big part of the early Fall story - She was one of the few people who could put MES in his place for a start. I’m also eternally grateful that she made me do my A-levels! RIP.
