Live events

Last weekend, Sunday in particular, I had the absolute pleasure of attending MCM Manchester Comic Con 2019 with my sister. Oh boy, what an event, what to talk about first is the question?! Let’s start from the very beginning shall we? After a very, VERY rough nights sleep, I woke up at 7AM with 2 […]

I’ve been a fan of Danny Vaughn since first hearing him with Waysted back in the 1980’s, and it’s been a pleasure following him since then across all of his different projects. Myself and Thom recorded an interview show with Danny for our podcast 80’s Picturehouse back in 2014 (this will be available once again […]

Funny how life sometimes works out. You catch a song on the radio but can’t place the singer or the material, it’s a country soul number from the sixties/seventies maybe? So you check the playlist and find that its neither old or American, in fact it’s new and she’s straight outa Bristol.

Regular visitors to our website will already be familiar with Monopoly Events and the great events they put on across the UK (if you haven’t already done so, then spend a few minutes reading my reviews of ‘For The Love Of Sci-Fi‘ and ‘Liverpool Comic Con‘), and of course myself and Thom sang their praises […]

Everyone here at 60MW Towers loves movies, music, video games, podcasts…in fact, all forms of entertainment. We also love discovering all of the above from creative artists that may hitherto have not been promoted by the mainstream press, and we find great pleasure from new/unsigned bands, indie video game makers and indie filmmakers. Luckily for […]

Now in its 5th year, The Manchester Film Festival played out from March 2nd – March 10th at the Odeon in Manchester’s historic Great Northern Warehouse. Showcasing over 150 films in a line-up made up of narrative and documentary features, narrative and documentary shorts, experimental films, music videos, animations and VR, this truly is a […]

After visiting (and absolutely loving) the Monopoly Events ‘For The Love of Sci-Fi’ convention last year (see review), I was looking forward to attending their Liverpool Comic Con, especially as Burt Young was attending and I could add to my ‘Rocky’ photo collection with him after meeting Brigitte Nielsen and Carl Weathers at the aforementioned […]
