More filming in Greater Manchester, this time in the City Centre as Peaky Blinders creator Stevie Knight sets up shop – or at least, mock-ups of shops from mid-1800s Dublin.
House of Guinness traces the origins of the Irish stout and is set immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness. It’s all about the impact of his will on his four children, Arthur, Edward, Anne and Ben. (See The Manc.) Expect this on Netflix in a year or so.
I shot these yesterday in the Dale St area.
This weekend movie convention For the Love of Horror returns to Bowlers Exhibition Centre. This year, expect cast members from The Devil’s Rejects, Saw, Friday the 13th and Halloween. I’ll be meeting the cast of the original Evil Dead, and also Katherine from Silence of the Lambs, Brooke Smith. It’s going to be great. There are still tickets!
If you’re looking for company at the event, I threw up a meetup on Manc Mates. I’m there Saturday.
Also on Saturday: house music collective Dissociate run their night in Off the Square, tucked down the side of Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter. Expect high energy beats and pulsing basslines. I’ve not been to one of these before, but I’ve attended other house music nights at the same venue. It’s a perfect little den for dirty house and tech.
Manchester Nightlife is headed there this week, starting in nearby Pen and Pencil. Tickets are £6.50 but they will go up!
