Press Gang
Ahoy there!

Help Mo move the block!
Mo has hit a creative block. It appears immovable. Can you help? How would you move the immovable? Maybe though, you don’t want to move it; you want to disguise it, play on it or make it disappear. We want your ideas, pictures, photos or videos!
Immovable is part of imove, a Cultural Olympiad programme in Yorkshire.

Irresistible promo
Jez Colborne is a multi-talented composer, musician and performer. He is one of the first 10 disabled artists to be commissioned by Unlimited* to create an original work for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
Driven by a life-long fascination with warning sirens, he can hear music where most of us hear noise. Working in collaboration with Mind the Gap, he is composing something truly irresistible …
Irresistible is a symphony of sirens, a musical experience that combines alarm sirens, other non-traditional instruments and singing voices to create a breathtaking choral work.
Irresistible is one of the final 12 Unlimited* commissions that will be presented as part of the London 2012 Festival. The finished piece will premier in London and Yorkshire in 2012.
