Following a national open call for submissions, Manchester performer Fat Roland developed a new show responding to the theme ‘coming of age’.
Over the next 12 months, he will receive a bespoke package of support as part of The Lowry’s award-winning Developed With The Lowry scheme in Salford. This will include funding and support for professional development that extends well beyond the life of this project.
Manchester-based spoken word performer Fat Roland said, “I’ll be celebrating my 45th birthday next year. As a result, I’m looking forward to developing a new show themed on 45 RPM records and metaphors around music’s digital coming of age for Week 53 Festival."
