2nd Birthday Blog

Some good news... after 6 months of a fair bit of backwards and forwards, 2nd Birthday has officially been granted charity status. Great news. This opens up more possibilities for us to raise funds for the venue, and to make sure there's a great programme of work to liven up even the quietest of Bournemouth nights. Also makes it easier and more attractive for property owners to work with 2nd Birthday to fill their empty spaces, making the idea even more irresistable! Everything continues to move forwards..

 

Totally unconnected, but equally great news, is that I've added a music box to my ever-growing collection of random musical instruments (joining the musical frog, organ, gongs to name a few). I got it in Liverpool when the 2nd Birthday team went up to check out the capital of culture and the pretty stunning 'La Princesse' produced by the amazing Artichoke productions. I don't think i've ever seen so many people lining the steeets, filling the squares, and hanging off windows and lamp-posts. It seemed like the whole city was out to catch a glimpse of the giant mechanical spider roaming the city. Have a look at www.lamachine.co.uk/index.php/gallery/.  All good for feeding the creative brain...
