The Awakening ✅ What a journey! From a phone call with @ProducerBev to dance-crying in the pit with @martharosew, whilst 1000s of people gasp in awe at the magic @slunglowalan & @kullyLeeds2023 dreamed up! I am so proud of our team & this city #LEEDS2023 bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Yesterday I helped raise a Barn with three hundred women and non-binary people in 24 hours and today I could barely string a sentence together. An unforgettable career highlight. #TheWOWBarn @LEEDS_2023

And it's a wrap, a 24hr barn build with women & non-binary people for @LEEDS_2023 with @WOWisGlobal. Beautiful words from Jude Kelly, @kullyLeeds2023 @TracyBrabin. 300 portraits taken ready to celebrate & be guardians of its legacy. What a privilege to be part of. #TheWOWBarn

Couldn't have done it with out my gal!

Feeling quite emotional after @LEEDS_2023's #TheAwakening! So many things, but dancing to Dunstan Bruce and Opera North's Tubthumping was EPIC - and as a queer brass player, hearing @Divinadecampo speak the words from Brassed Off at the start of the song was 🥹💜 love you Leeds.

@ProducerBev @LEEDS_2023 @slunglowalan @kullyLeeds2023 @martharosew This video is pure joy!

#TheAwakening last night, and Bradford was there to support our neighbours! I curated the outdoor art gallery with over 2000 submissions, so moving to see people spot their work, a joyous start @LEEDS_2023 @kullyLeeds2023 looking forward to seeing the rest of the year unfold!

@VickyAckroyd @LEEDS_2023 @testamentonline @denmarccreary We love you Vicky!! We DO!!

Epic night audio describing #TheAwakening for @LEEDS_2023 Apart from the incredible acts (and special thanks to @testamentonline and @denmarccreary for leaving a pause for me to describe them!) but the care and support for us as access providers was utterly wonderful. Thank you!

People bring literally anything they want on to the buses in Leeds. A full size pair of ladders today. At rush hour. A lot of respect for that.
