What is it, in your opinion that makes Manchester unique?
I think the friendliness, sense of humour, the ability to do things and get things done, and the fact that everyone wants to do things for their city... just the atmosphere, it's fabulous.
How do you think the city could be improved?
It's not green enough. I've told the City Council about this many times. The should plant trees the way they do in LA. Also, I think the City Council ought to make better use of us as festival organisers.
Have you got any favourite cafe bars or pubs?
Atlas - we hang out there all the time, and Jenny is great - I don't usually go to pubs in Manchester, only when I'm visiting my home in Accrington
