Episode notes

The GOLD award-winning entry in the 2024 Community Radio Awards features a five minute summary of the highs and lows of the (world-famous) Oldham Coliseum Theatre, following the funding cuts and resulting in the closure of the theatre.

Fortunately, a dedicated group of supporters came to the rescue.....

We hear from former Artistic Director Kenneth Alan Taylor, Julie Hesmondhalgh and others.
