Actuality: Fast Forward to Wigan

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series of montage documentaries

'I like this group. I like the way it works, and I'm very interested in art being accessible and people being able to use artists the same way as they'd use bricklayers.'
'When somebody told me they were coming down I thought I'd give it a try, and ever since then I've enjoyed it. They work in a friendly way. Not what you'd expect.'
'Working with people like that is incredibly exciting because you are actually breaking ground that hasn't been touched before.'
'At first they treat it as a laugh. Then they get more serious, but I don't think a fortnight's long enough. I wish everybody would get involved, because I think its a great thing.'
A Community Arts Workshop team from Manchester took a two-week multi-media project, Fast Forward, to the Annexe, a youth club at Norley Hall, Wigan. This programme reflects how they got on.
