It was an absolute privilege to be part of a media panel yesterday at the University I fell in love with media at, The University of Manchester. I remember when I was a student there and I attended a similar event, meeting an investigative journalist (I even bought and read his book!)

Yesterday I spent the day in Manchester’s city centre interviewing people who have travelled far and wide to see the Gallagher brothers united again. It felt like reporting on a piece of history - all for BBC Radio 5 Live’s Wake Up to Money programme.
