Call Busker

Throughout the festival, our virtual busker Mike Garry will be on-call in the window of Kro Piccadilly. Call 0161 408 3038* to kick-start a video performance of his newly commissioned poem God is a Manc, inspired by North Manchester.
Mike Garry is the author of Mancunian Meander, and his poetry focuses on the raw beauty of the city and its people. So when you’re out shopping or mooching round town on your lunch break in need of some spiritual nourishment – Call Busker!
This project is part of Made in England, a collaboration between BBC Manchester and Arts Council England North West, exploring the relationship between landscape and artists. For more information visit: bbc.co.uk/madeinengland
* As the system uses Skype, the only charge to the audience will be the cost of a local phone call by their service provider. Skype does not operate on a premium rate tariff and the Arts Council, BBC and Manchester Literature Festival are not in receipt of any income generated by the Skype service.
