We’re thrilled to announce that our Poet in Residence, Tony Walsh, will perform at our Birthday Party at The Principal Manchester (formerly The Palace Hotel) on Friday 10th February 2017.

 

 

 

The Forever Manchester Birthday Party, sponsored by Express Solicitors, will bring together over 400 passionate and dedicated Forever Manchester supporters to celebrate another great year of helping local people do extraordinary things together.

Forever Manchester Birthday Bash, The Palace Hotel, Manchester

To round celebrations off before the disco starts, our Poet in Residence Tony Walsh (aka Longfella) will be performing his poetry to our supporters. His poems celebrate all the different people and skills which combine to make Forever Manchester what we are, alongside the hundreds of amazing, grassroots community groups which we support right across Greater Manchester.

When asked what he loves about Forever Manchester, he said: “I love how you take people’s passion for our amazing city, our neighbourhoods and our people, and join it all up. They bring people together, each giving from their talents and their means, to make amazing and important things happen. You throw a good knees-up too and you get a good brew when you visit the office!

Tony performed at our 25th Birthday celebrations as well as at our Birthday Bash earlier this year to standing ovations on both occasions. We’re looking forward to hearing his performance in February and hope for another good knees-up!

If you can’t wait until then, Tony will also be performing at our inaugural FM Live on Wednesday 30th November at Hard Rock Cafe, sponsored by Opus 4. Tickets are available now.
