We open THE HUMAN VOICE this Wednesday and runs until Friday at Thd King’sArms, Salford. We've in need of reviewers to come watch the show. All but one who have committed are now unable to watch. Please RT or get in touch if this is you. 013
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Thanks Emma, that would be good. It’s super tough at the moment for every part of the industry, but would welcome what works well for companies and individual artists. Mainly looking to chat about development and support rather than straight programming at the moment. I’ll drop you a DM 030
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 08/12/2024If you’re a venue that thinks you’re smashing it in artist support and are up for a conversation about what you offer and would fancy a chat, please also let me know!? 110
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 08/12/2024If you’re an artist and you’ve worked with a venue that you’ve really enjoyed the support from, I’d love to hear who? 130
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 08/12/2024As NPOs now have a timetable for the next round application in 2025, what are the venues that get artist support right? We’ve had various iterations of this since I’ve been around @contactmcr.bsky.social but I’m interested in examples of those smashing it? 110
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 30/11/2024The other half has offered to bake something for me this week. I need gluten free suggestions for amazing baked goods please!! 000

Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Very much enjoyed Madam Secretary and Designated Survivor! I’d also suggest The Good Wife as a contender 010
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It’s been a whirlwind week and I’ve not quite got in the rhythm of having another channel to post on, but I have been enjoying! So far this week I’ve been to the English National Opera in GM launch and the opening of Prism Festival at Sale Waterside! Tomorrow is the MCR Culture Awards 🤞🤞 030
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Some of it yes! It’s on the list to continue. Currently watching Scandal! 020

Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Do savour every moment. I wish I had spaced it out but sadly the lure of CJ and Abbie was too much! 110
Jack Dale-Dowd @jackdaledowd.bsky.social · 19/11/2024During the winter months I usually spend time rewatching The West Wing, it’s my happy place… however, it’s only mid November and I’ve already watched it in its entirety.media.tenor.coma woman sitting in a chair reading a newspaper and saying wow are you stupidAlt: CJ Cregg from the west wing sitting in a chair reading a newspaper and saying wow are you stupid 370
