But if you can’t get even a little bit excited about a psychedelic exhibition of crowd-pleasing works by a world-renowned, 94-year-old Japanese surrealist, something has gone horribly wrong. And with tickets available for less than a tenner, it’s pretty reasonably priced too. Especially when you compare it to an average theatre show at the Palace or the Lowry.
I’m certainly no architecture expert, but when I visited on a very wet Friday night I was taken aback by the bizarre looking space age building nestled next to the Irwell. Inside it was warm and friendly and there was music and plenty of life in the foyer. My cynicism melted away. The deputy head of Eton College, Tom Arbuthnott, has already promised its new selective sixth form here in Greater Manchester - which could open by 2025 - will be a ‘good neighbour’ and previously said a number of local schools have agreed to join a partnership with the famous boarding school.

We want to be confident that it's operating to higher standards,” he said.
The following month, he phoned 999 again and 'continued to be racist and abusive' towards call handlers and he was arrested a second time, according to GMP. In total, there were 'at least' nine calls all from the man 'with the same racist and abusive messages'. The filmmaker - who spent many years working on film sets in London before taking on his own projects - says his new film offers a glimpse into the second biggest Jewish community in the country.
