No Gwyneth Paltrow moment here…

So Mancubist scooped the Best Arts and Culture Blog award at last night’s Manchester Blog Awards. Many thanks again to those who nominated it - I know who (some of) you are - and special thanks to Kate for organising this and just about every related event in Manchester.

The night itself was fun: I arrived to catch the very end of fellow winner Days of Moustaches‘ reading, which by all accounts went down very well, and The Free Man in Preston impressed me with his last-minute performance.

After receiving the award, one of the judges, Richard Fair of the BBC Manchester Blog, cornered me for a quickfire interview, which was a strange experience - normally I’m on the other side of the microphone. Luckily my quotes are just being used on the blog (I hope…).

All in all a great evening – and very well attended too. Here’s a list of this year’s other winners:

Best Personal Blog: Single Mother on the Verge

Best New Blog: Rent Girl

Best Political Blog: Politaholic

Best Writing on a Blog: Day of Moustaches

CONGRATULATIONS! a well deserved win. xxx

Why thank you. Do you still do the All FM show? The tracklisting never fails to impress me…

yes, we still have the show. thought i’ve not posted a track list in a while. thanks for reminding me. would you like to come on and play a few tunes some time soon? you’d be most welcome.

A bit of publicity and all the sudden offers come flooding in! Anyway, I would love to but I’m not sure I’ve got a voice for radio - nor the face (ho ho ho).

to be honest, i’ve been meaning to ask you for a while. next show is monday 22 october. and fortnightly thereafter. drop me an email.
