Bill Cronshaw’s humorous, nostalgic and wistful celebration of a life spent being a Manchester City fan is the basis of this launch of Bill’s book ‘What it is to be Blue’. (New Writing)<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be at the Buxton Fringe<\/a> on 9th and 10th July from 7pm-8pm in Venue 55c for the first<\/s> public launch of Bill’s book ‘What it is to be Blue’ – An entertainment suitable for City fans aged 9-90 (under 16s free). Numbers are restricted so please purchase your tickets now! <\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately with restrictions continuing until at least the 19th July we have decided not to go ahead with the planned ‘in person’ book launch at Buxton. In its place we are pleased to offer a Zoom event on Saturday 10th July 7-8pm<\/strong>. If you would like to join Bill online please complete the registration from at https:\/\/forms.gle\/9tMXpio449uot3Xu9<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the last few years, Bill Cronshaw of Dreamshed Theatre has written and staged a number of well-received City-related plays. The first one was \u2018I\u2019ll be Bert\u2019<\/a>, a tribute to the legendary Bert Trautmann. This was followed by \u2018Maine Road Blues\u2019<\/a> which celebrated City\u2019s eighty years at Maine Road. Next up was \u2018Shalalalalee<\/a>\u2019, which told the story of a fictitious City apprentice and his girlfriend during the Mercer and Allison glory years. More recently, \u2018City 125 \u2013 The Club with no History\u2019<\/a> celebrated City\u2019s 125th<\/sup> anniversary in a revue-style show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
