I heard this on the radio this morning. It is an incredible conversation about EDUCATION, POETRY, CLASS, OPPORTUNITY, AND THE POWER OF CREATIVITY. Poet Tony Walsh talks to actress Julie Hesmondhalgh [Best known for her role in Coronation Street].
They simply discuss how they came to value writing and art and why the value of creativity is such a central feature of their lives. IT IS FANTASTIC.

For Y13 this could link to Harrison and issues linked to working class culture and opportunity.. but really this is just two interesting people discussing the power of art.
TONY WALSH is best known for being the poet that presented his poem 'THIS IS THE PLACE' at the vigil organised to respect the victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack.
