Something for the weekend?

It appears to be a particularly musical weekend around town: there's Richard Leach's 7 stars of Jazz in Bollington on Saturday and more jazz with Anniie's Saints and Sinners at the Baths Hotel on Sunday afternoon in Macc. There is a choral performance of Spem in Alium in Christ Church (see post below)and Clonter Opera perform 'Rigoletto'. Pop Thugs play the Swan with Two Necks on Saturday and and the Box Groove Coolers are at Ronnie's on Sunday.

If you fancy something a bit more physical get along to the opening of the new Skate Park in South Park and if its your lungs that need a buzz, a night at Bolly Comedy Club tonight should do the trick ; if you heckle that is!

Your fresh autumnal loop

You will hopefully have received your latest copy of the loop, at the weekend. We want to apologise for it arriving in your in box a few days later than planned. It was due to circumstances outside our control and we are very frustrated that some listings events will have passed. Please forgive us! With that said, its a good reminder to always keep an eye on this blog for lots of updates and prompts. Its also an ideal spot to tell us what you think (we'll take it on the chin) and what you've been along to. If you took your camera better still , share your pictures with us. Perhaps you saw the bands in South Park at the weekend?

Please can we draw your attention to an error in the listings for Bel canto choir; it meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday not Friday each month as we said, and their phone number is 01625 616247.This welcoming group is for those who 'just want to sing for the sheer pleasure of it!'

Thanks to Macc Skate for the image which shows the graffiti produced for the Skate Jam in West Park a couple of weeks ago.

In case you didn't receive your loop as requested, it could be that your server took a high handed dislike to it, as part of the group mail out. Please put maccloop@googlemail.com in your mail box to prevent this.

If you did get your hands on it, please feel free to forward it to like minded local friends, we would very much appreciate it. Oh yes and if you get along to something because you saw it in the loop please tell them!

Something for the weekend?

Fingers crossed it will be glorious this weekend, like last. When we were graced with the sort of weather the North West has become entirely unaccustomed to.
We definitely want the sun to shine on those Pirates (it's National Pirate Day) and on the bands playing at the Bandstand in South Park on Saturday. Great local music, a picnic by the lake... see earlier post for full details. Take your terrier as the annual South Park Dog Show is going on too. Mmm, take your terrier dressed as a pirate?! Pictures please!

The'' Looking at Paintings' 8 week course starts at Bollington Arts Centre tomorrow and if you fancy some trad jazz Annies Saints and Sinners play the Egerton Arms. Don't miss the very high quality and expansive Cloverbank Farmers Market on Saturday and watch out for frolicking calves, capering as you drive up the lane. They're having a ball at the moment apparently.

There's more music from F.I.G.M.O and Hey Zeus at the Swan with two Necks on Saturday night and the Merchants of Cool play Ronnie's on Sunday .

It's the second weekend of the Cheshire Open Studios. Seize this opportunity to see and possibly buy work direct from the artists in their studio. Sadly Macclesfield artist Jayashree Jaipal won't be showing as advertised but see her glorious pink abstract here instead.
