Last Saturday we welcomed guests from English National Opera and Walk the Plank into Starkies Bar and onto the terraces at Gigg Lane.

PERFECT PITCH is a new collaboration between Walk the Plank and English National Opera – a space where football and opera collide. An 8-week programme of community connection and workshops, some with Bury FC fans at Gigg Lane, culminated last week during the match between Bury v Squires Gate, with an operatic and football chant try out from the terraces, and a half time performance. The half time performance featured ENO soprano Carrie-Ann Williams, and baritone Patrick Keefe, accompanied by
