7 Wonders in 7 Days on the Becky Want show on BBC Radio Manchester on Tues 7 July at 2pm

I’m pretty excited about this.

I’ll be on the Becky Want show on BBC Radio Manchester next Tuesday 7th July at 2pm*.  If you’re in the Greater Manchester area, please tune in!

*Note that this is a significant time change: I was previously told the interview would take place tomorrow but it’s been moved back a week.

Other good news:

All weekend folk have been telling me that I’m in the paper.

Early last week I spoke to Ailsa Cranna, journalist with the Manchester Evening News’  Salford Advertiser and her interview was published on Thursday.

You can read it here.

Thank you Ailsa.

Unfortunately, I only found about it late Saturday evening otherwise I would have blogged about it earlier.

There’s also some interesting developments as far as 7 Wonders in 7 Days competitions are concerned.

On Friday afternoon I was contacted by a representative of the Southport Flower Show with some items for the Charity Auction.   As the auction had concluded the night before, I will be giving those items away on this site this week.  Stay tuned!

I’m kicking off the week with a bang, there’s lots of video content for you not least the second half of the last song from Peter Gregson’s mesmerising performance at Thursday’s Tweetup.  Here’s Part 1.  Those of you following 7 Wonders in 7 Days on Twitter have probably seen all the status updates about this.

Watch Part 2 of of Peter Gregson’s mesmerising performance:

I’ll also be uploading one video a day of live music and interviews from the Hungry Pigeon Festival.

Here’s the first installment, a performance by yours truly:

I’ve also uploaded a much nicer version of the 7 Wonders in 7 Days introduction:

I’m also planning to blog more about why I’ve chosen each of the 7 charities I’m supporting on the trip.  The 7 charities are:

• Alzheimer’s Research Trust
• Diabetes UK
• Open Doors
• Young Minds
• British Red Cross
• Feed The Minds
• The Jessie Ekweozor Memorial Foundation Comic Relief through supporting Sport Relief 2010
  

The last is a foundation my parents are starting in memory of my grandmother whose funeral inspired the 7 Wonders in 7 Days trip.

UPDATE: As explained in this blog post, I’m now fundraising for Comic Relief through supporting Sport Relief 2010.  This change came about upon my realisation that I would be unable to fundraise for the 6 existing charities whilst starting a whole new charitable foundation!

________

There’s also the weekly travel itinerary update from Thomas Cook Manchester to look forward to.  I need to get on with applying for visas and sorting out travel vaccinations so there’s a fair bit yet to do.

Over to you.

Your thoughts and queries welcome as always.

What do you think of me running competitions on the 7 Wonders in 7 Days website?  I’d love to know. Would you like to give something away? Get in touch.
