ANOTHER month, another Rewired and another format shift. This month we were overjoyed to have Mike and Rosa from the Writing On The Wall festival to tell us about the history of the festival and all the fantastic events they have lined up in May. Neil Atkinson and John Gibbons discover the festival is more than just the month it runs – Mike and Rosa tell us about the work they do all year round and have been doing now for sixteen years – the event has been running in Liverpool since 2000.
For this May, though, Writing On The Wall could well be the strongest it has been this year with a wide selection of venues across the city welcoming excellent guests and bold ideas. The link for the festival is here:
