On to Stoke on Trent. This time our HQ was in Hanley covered market, where we became firm friends with several stall holders, many of whom provided voice recordings for the audio part of the tour. We fitted a brass band in our stall and talked to some real characters including George, an elderly teddy boy, Phil who likes to be bespangled in badges and the O’Malley family of cosplayers. A bunch of local performers appeared along the tour as contestants in the ancient Potteries (or Potty) Olympics featuring the famous Oat Cake Toss and as the extraordinary residents of Lichfield Street. And the Penkhull Ukulele Band provided live music for our finale in the Bus Station! Thanks to our partners Appetite for all their help and support.
