Live events

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 […]

It’s been over a year since I first heard Kris Barras and loved his music so much that I put his song ‘Hail Mary’ on one of our Soundcheck ’em out shows for you all to hear (and buy). It’s also been over a year since I was last at our beloved Tivoli venue too. […]

The reason is that Grimmfest always delivers a superb selection of films, and I’m sure that once you read about some of the […]

Falling in the middle of a Bank Holiday weekend, there were certainly a lot of events going on to capture peoples attention; Ed Sheeran playing just up the road at the Etihad Stadium, Manchesters great football rivals Liverpool playing in a Champions League final where the local populace were packing out sports bar to cheer […]

Started in 2008 by Jaime Milner and Ash Blackwell, Wales Comic Con is a definite one off. Over the years I’ve been to a lot of Comic Cons in the UK and USA (yes even The San Diego CC at Golden Hall in 1990, and then in the San Diego convention centre in 1991), so […]

Iconic film scores (not including musicals). There are so many. The Godfather (Nino Rota), the ‘Dollars triliogy‘ (Ennio Morricone), Star Wars (John Williams). My own favourites; Blade Runner (Vangelis) and Paris, Texas (Ry Cooder), they are the soul of the film, indelible anthems that must have a perfect fit to the narrative. They swoop, soar and […]
