DaDaFest: Great events and performances – if you missed it you missed out.

La Machine It’s not coming back but the memories will last forever. Many people got drenched in the performance including Culture Minister Andy Burnham. It was truly fantastic. Many watched it appear in front of the Town Hall on Saturday and rest at top of Lord St. It was great the way that the crowds weren’t stuck behind barriers.

The National Sculpture prize at Bluecoat Display Centre 2 was won by Claire Burbridge for her piece cast in resin. The people’s choice went to Seamus Moran. See before it ends on Hanover St on 13 September. Bluecoat Display Centre 2 closes for good on 13 September.
