Not strictly creative (although I’m not sure what is these days) but it’s Harry Palmer, so worth a mention.
Join Harry Palmer this Saturday (22nd Nov) near St Martins Church – Bullring, Birmingham (3pm sharp) to hear details surrounding the tragic crisis of the hedgehog in Birmingham
Here’s the flyer (update – as per the comment below, don’t go feeding hedgehogs milk or bread):
News from Eccentric City‘s Harry Palmer, which I hope you’ll forgive me for regurgitating in full:
The Eccentric City newspaper shortly holds it eccentric auction (23rd Sept, Anchor pub, Digbeth, Birmingham - 7.30pm onwards). With much anticipated joy and excitement, British luminary eccentric Mr John Ward www.johnwardinventor.co.uk will be in attendance. This is a unique and wonderful honour that The Eccentric City newspaper team wanted to let people know that something outside the norm of day to day culture continues to gather greatness! A truely eccentric occasion beckons! Please feel free to come along!
BiNS has info about what the auction consists of.
John Ward seems an affable chap – here he is on Pebble Mill at One (a while back) chatting about making creations from rubbish. According to his website, the late Screaming Lord Sutch officially appointed him Minister of Inventions for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
These are a series of short films (each around the 30 second mark) produced by the Eccentric City folks to celebrate their third year. There will be 24 in total, the first four are up on the Eccentric City YouTube account and also here:

Invite: Join Eccentric Archeologist, Harry Palmer, this Saturday 12 midday as part or an informal mission examining this peculiar landscape. Should this site be saved for national heritage purposes? What affects are still being felt 60 years on? Please bring note pads, pens and measuring tapes etc…if you can!
At midday on Saturday what’s going on that could possibly be more interesting?
