Not all my photography has been about sports - for a long time I worked every year for a real Manchester institution - the Manchester Youth Theatre run by Geoff and Hazel Sykes. Unfortunately it's no longer in existence, but for over 20 years it allowed young people from Manchester to experience the reality of theatre work. These young people would work throughout their school summer holidays, then taking over such venues as the Library theatre and Green Room for their productions - which they frequently sold out. The photos here are from 1992 and are the first real archival shots - hence their in black and white - but there's mo

I was in the MYT Art and Props department in the mid 80s. My photographs are so poor, ( before the days of smartphones) it would be wonderful to see some more.
