Your latest digest+ from bitternepark.info – Aug 8
Student flats news, Bevois knife incident, and council talks rubbish (collections)
Welcome back to your regular digest+. We bring you handy links to all the latest stories on our website, and a little bit more for those who kindly support us with a monthly sub.
(Don’t forget, if you’ve been a recent supporter of our little endeavour through PayPal payments, a standing order or a donation, you’re probably eligible for a free 12-month sub to digest+: just request it using this form.)
Our main feature this week is a 20-minute interview with Colin McUke, who talks about Southampton Ukulele Jam’s 24-hour UKe-athon starting on Saturday, raising cash for four great local charities.
He explains not only how the idea for the event came about, but also talks about how the Jam began, the huge number of people it now involves, and the buzz and uniting power of shared music.
We’ve made this one free-to-listen - no sub required - so click through to find out more about the UKe-athon, how you can watch live or online, and how you support the fundraiser.
See you next time!
And now for digest+ monthly or higher subscribers, the rest of this bulletin continues below. (Don’t forget the free trial is still available if you sign up to ≥monthly…)
