Lindsay Reade. Gillian Gilbert. Ang Matthews. Cath Carroll. DJ Paulette. Stella Hall. Linder Sterling. Kay Carroll. So many brilliant women played a pivotal role in Factory’s story. Thanks for acknowledging & amplifying some of their voices @ophiraophira.bsky.social @manchestermill.bsky.social
I had the pleasure of meeting Edna O’Brien a few times - first at Brighton Festival then @budlitfest.bsky.social. I adored her wit, her charm, her resilience, her passion for literature and her refusal to suffer fools. What a joy to listen to this nourishing interview with @sineadgleeson.bsky.social
TONIGHT! (17 Jan) See the wonderful Alan Hollinghurst discuss his moving and witty new novel Our Evenings, class, theatre, love and sexuality with poet & fellow novelist Andrew McMillan @mcrlitfest.bsky.social 🎟️ manchesterliteraturefestival.co.uk/events/an-ev...

"The question is not one of whether women were involved in the label’s success, but rather why it’s taken just under half a century for their involvement to be recognised."
@ophiraophira.bsky.social on the forgotten women of Factory, for today's weekend read.

The great Edna O’Brien would’ve been 94 today. In 2015, I chaired an event with her, and hardly had to ask any questions. She spoke - as she wrote - in perfect paragraphs. Erudite, funny, and one of few writers I ever interviewed to get a standing ovation. Listen: m.soundcloud.com/dlr-soundclo...
