“You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world…KISS” I’ve heard the above introduction 31 times at KISS concerts across the UK since becoming a fan (some may say “obsessed with”) back in 1979. I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing that introduction MANY times over the years at Dressed […]

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 […]

The perfect man, because he could tap dance up […]

Has it really been 4 years since my Son and I attended the PLAY Expo in Blackpool!? With him much taller and myself much greyer, we set of to the Manchester Central Convention Complex for a fun filled day where 8 hours went by in a flash of gaming, laughing, buying merchandise, watching shows, and […]

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.
