Going down memory lane at Forsyth in Manchester city centre. The best music shop, period! Spent hours in there as a student at the RNCM. Quality stock and super friendly knowledgeable staff make every visit there memorable. Going strong since 1857, and now 5 gen owner Emma and her team are doing an incredible job enriching the cultural scene of the city and nurturing the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Gotta visit if you are ever in Mcr.

The Small Actions Big Ripples podcast shines a spotlight on individuals whose small, intentional actions create waves of positive change. In every episode, we celebrate the innovators and problem-solvers working within their organisations, or purpose-driven businesses to make a meaningful difference in the wider community. From sustainable initiatives that protect our planet to community support programs that uplift lives, I will explore the inspiring stories of people whose efforts - big or small - create lasting impacts.
In ep.01 of the 'Small Actions Big Ripples' podcast, launching this Fri 31 Jan, I welcome to the Opus Media Productions studio, chris taylor, the visionary behind Sy.gigs, a series of alternative music events in Shrewsbury, with a mission to promote mental wellbeing and foster community connections through live music and the creative arts. We’ll find out what inspired Chris to start SY.gigs, the impact of these special live music events on the local community and his vision for the future.

Leverage the power of podcasting without starting a podcast!
Q: Are you a business owner who's thought about tapping into the podcast craze but feel daunted by the idea of launching a full-fledged show?
A: HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS. You can produce podcast content without ever producing a podcast!
How? By creating pod shorts!
Pod shorts are bite-sized video or audio content - think 30secs to 1min long - that are engaging, informative and easy to produce. And here is the best part. You already have all the material you need to get started!
Need help turning your content into mini pod ads? I specialise in making businesses shine on the podcast stage, one short at a time.
Get in touch and let’s chat.
It's always a joy to see people being transported to a different time and place through live music.
On Sat night, despite the stormy weather, I had the pleasure of performing live Greek music on my bouzouki and demoing dances from my native country for a VIP event in Ludlow's Athena Greek restaurant. The live music, paired with the unmistakable aromas of authentic Greek food cooked with passion and love by the proprietors Linda (born in Greece but raised here) and Dave (the loveliest Scottish guy you would ever hope to meet), made for a special atmosphere reminiscent of sunnier climes. There was singing, dancing to the Zorba tune and a spot of ouzo drinking of course. No plates were harmed you would be pleased to know.
If you are looking for an authentic Greek restaurant to dine in south Shropshire I would highly recommend the Athena Greek restaurant https://www.athenagreektaverna.co.uk/
