This is the Place

It was an honour to be approached to be part of the ‘This is the Place’ book, a creative memorial in response to the attack on Manchester Arena in May 2017. The book, based around Tony Walsh’s poem 'This is the Place’, brought the creative community of Manchester together to reflect on the tragedy. We were given one line of the poem and the challenge of creating one page of the book.



Our idea wouldn’t have been possible without the support of IPAF, which provided a cherry picker to capture the image. The proceeds from the book sales will be split equally across three Manchester charities.

Please support by buying a copy, every penny of the cover price goes to charity.
