On my way up the M6 this bank holiday Monday, I thought I'd have a quick look round Williamson Park at the Ashton Memorial as it was only a short detour on my way north. It's a truly magnificent monument and worth a visit. More images can be seen at Aston Memorial photo set.
The Haigh Hall music festival in Wigan has been given the OK for this year and is scheduled for Sunday the 6th July. The Wigan Music Collective and Wigan Leisure and Culture trust WLCT bring together a selection of local talent in an all day festival. If the bands are as energetic as previous years, it should provide some interesting photography.
I had the privilege to photography their wedding at Haigh Hall in Wigan and although I was there to do a job, I was made to feel like one of the guests. A lovely couple and and equally lovely day.
