Happy Heavenly Birthday Chris Sievey! 👍 The comic genius would’ve been 71 years old today.

We popped along to see the bronze statue of Chris’ legendary comic persona Frank Sidebottom in Timperley.

Frank is giving a thumbs up to the fantastic illustration by of the lyric to the song he wrote for John entitled ‘Stockport Is Really Fantastic” as regularly performed by Stockport Ukulele Players.

You see the Frank Sidebottom illustration at our exhibition of artworks in the Underpass at Stockport Station supported by South East Manchester CRP and Crewe to Manchester CRP

You can also order an A3 print from our website see link in bio.

Chris Sievey passed away far too soon on 21st June 2010, at the age of 54. He left a lasting legacy of laughter and deserves to be celebrated.

In the words of Frank, “Stockport is really fantastic, you know it is, it really is.”

One of the highlights of our weekend in London was a visit to the ‘David Bowie: You’re Not Alone’ immersive experience at

This incredible sound and vision installation is narrated by David from rarely heard interviews and features iconic live performance footage and amazing edited sections to bring you closer to Bowie the artist than you have ever felt before.

Mesmerising, gobsmacking and emotional - it felt like a religious experience and left you feeling in awe of the man and his prolific creativity.

The installation lasts about an hour and is on a loop so we could’ve sat there and watched it again and again but the venue was closing. 😞

A must-visit experience! ⚡️
