On Saturday August 30th 2008, Manchester District Music Archive (www.mdmarchive.co.uk) present a very special event at Islington Mill in Salford, to celebrate Manchester’s Electro-Funk and B Boy heritage. Through a mixture of talks, Q and A’s, screenings, and, of course, dancing, this event will attempt to tell the story of the city’s early ‘80s Electro-Funk scene, explaining how it sowed the seeds for subsequent developments as the decade unfolded.

Well it would be easy to think that I might have been dreaming when I woke up this morning but no it is for real. Great Britain Men have qualified for Eurobasket 2009 which takes place next summer in Poland.

Well what a sensational day we had at the 02 Arena on Saturday afternoon. When I left home at 7am on Saturday morning, little did I know what was in store for me.
