NIGHT FANTASY | FRIDAY MARCH 06TH | KRAAK GALLERY MANCHESTER

Looking forward to plating here on Friday March 06th, here's what they say:

Busting out of Kosmonaut to a back-alley near you, Night Fantasy bring their plates of peak time biker disco, tripped out electronics and throbbing analogue grooves to KRAAK for a night of certified dancefloor destruction.

Joining us for this evening of high-class entertainment will be a selection of some of Manchester's finest sleaze-bags who will be mounting the decks at various points during the night in a display of intensely erotic sonic behaviour.

So buckle-up, this ain't gonna be pretty.

PARK LIFE | WHITWORTH GALLERY & PARK REFURB PHOTOGRAPHY | FEB 15TH 2015

The Whitworth Art Gallery, & adjacent Victorian park, reopened this weekend after a 3 year & 15 million pound refurb. As you would expect, it's spectacular, both building & contents. Worth a few of your early Spring hours.

A few photos of both, below:

WAVES OF MODERNISM | PRESTON BUS STATION | PR1

Visited the above on Saturday, the central bus station of the city of Preston in Lancashire, England. It was built by Ove Arup and Partners in the Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, to a design by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership with E. H. Stazicker [ more here ]

It was due for demolition up until to last year when the campaign to save it was successful & the building was listed to Grade II.  Definitely a good thing - it's very much a late 60s time capsule - design heavy, tonnes upon tonnes of brutal concrete but super photogenic too:

 

There's a great cafe located on the ground floor of the terminal, well worth popping into for a Brutalist breakfast...

 This short film about Preston Bus Station, produced by Andrew Wilson and Paul Adams in 2013, defines it perfectly:

Preston Bus Station isn't the only modernist / Brutalist building of note in Preston - there's also the Guild Hall:
