Originally hailing from Derry in Ireland, Jennifer Hardy has moved around quite a bit. Having lived in places such as San Francisco, Sydney, Perth and Edinburgh. She has now been living in Ramsbottom since 2015 and is loving it – especially the eating out part in places like Levanter.
In 2009 Jennifer was even a finalist in the Red Stripe Music Awards.
In 2013 Blackened Eyes, Jennifer’s debut album was released.
Jennifer is currently working on her follow up to Blackened Eyes and planning a UK tour, but you don’t need to wait! You can hear her support Fred’s House on Wednesday the 17th of February, so when this is released, just three days!

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day I’m having a bit of a love-themed episode.
In the week that Manchester was voted number 8 in a list of “The Happiest Places to work” in The Guardian I thought it would be good to get a head start on Valentine’s Day.
You’ll hear from Cheryl of Highfields Florists, Mike from The Card Shop and a special word from Stuart of The Vineyard on how he has love in a bottle!

It’s 2016! We don’t have flying cars yet, but we have hoverboards that are being banned left right and centre in America, including a raid on at a recent electronics show CES.
I don’t think they’ll be “taking off” in Ramsbottom anytime soon though.
This week I interviewed Stephen Gill of Summerseat players and I looked at how Summerseat Players actually came to be in Ramsbottom.
In 1990 what was then the “Buskers Showbar and Snooker Hall” (formerly “The Royal Cinema”) was purchased by the Summerseat Players. It was renamed to what is now, the Theatre Royal. It then underwent lots of changes to create the theatre and in September 1991 it opened to the public with their production of “Stepping Out”.
Interestingly, Stephen mentioned that they had also looked at the old Co-Op Building at the time, but access was considered too difficult and costly to correct. I spoke to Stephen Marley about the old Co-Op building in episode 41.
I also found out how many people it takes to actually put on a production.

This week’s interview with Stephen was one of the most fascinating I’ve had yet. If you’ve seen the Co-Op building from the outside, you’ll understand that it’s clearly a spectacular building, but it’s the inside that really holds your breath.
