- YouTube – Blast! Curzon Street Station 14-16th Sept 07 – Yesterday Stef Lewandowski asked what should be done with Curzon Street Station and my reply was Something, Anything! It’s such a pity to see this gorgeous building stand empty and unused. Here’s a reminder of its fantastic potential, last year’s Blast! which the film-maker describes as:
The event of the season. Weirdest gig I ever filmed – absolutely amazing experience spectacle in the grounds of the Curzon Street Station. A performance of pyrotechnics, projections and orchestrated bangs whistles and explosions!
- Senior council boss insists Birmingham doesn’t need a creative director – Birmingham Post – Must say I disagree. I personally prefer the idea of one, visionary driving force rather than designing the city by committee, which hasn’t exactly worked wonders so far.
Birmingham City Council assistant director of regeneration Philip Singleton said he believed the figure of a creative director may not be best for Birmingham, instead suggesting it could be an organisation that fulfilled the role.’
