To kick off the new year our Culture Radar guest is Paddy Hughes, Programme Coordinator at Collective Encounters.
Loved: The always brilliant Everyman panto and the Sean at The Hotel album launch.
Looking forward to: The Liverpool Irish Music Festival is something I always look forward to.
What’s coming up at Collective Encounters? ReCITE and the development of our Theatre Informed Policy Making model AND our sector development events in the new year which are:

Trivia: Outside of Collective Encounters I run a script reading service called My Next Draft (Mynextdraft.com) that helps writers locally and internally to finish drafts of plays and screenplays.
