The Manchester Craft Mafia are here to stay. They are a group of craft businesses dedicated to supporting and sharing a creative, maverick spirit of crafting in Manchester, Greater Manchester and beyond.
They want to help kick-start the new wave of entrepreneurial crafters sacking the rat race and finding other ways to make a living - people crafting en masse and in public and anyone hiding an inner crafter and everyone who just loves buying, finding or making something that bit different. Thats what they say anyay. Mike Dawson went down to central Manchester to one of the most popular nights to make something for himself with disasterous results. Thankfully there was some real talent around in the shape of organiser Nico and the award winning chris. Get down there its great fun and a really nice bunch of people who will give a warm welcome to strangers. Even if your not that good like some we could mention.

Well yes there has been talk, where has he been. James “The Legacy” Murphy went off the airwaves for a number of weeks which prompted lots of silly rumours. Some said he was tired, needed a break. Others said he had a couple of weddings to go to. There were even rumours it was all just a publicity stunt. Nothing could be further from the truth and I am glad that we have the chance to put the record straight once and for all. James had had enough of loud rock music and sought solice at a remote monestry in Tibet. He left instructions for his CD’s to be burned and took a vow of silence. Its only out of respect for our show that he was eventually persuaded to return to Wythenshawe once more and grace the airwaves. For the first time we can reveal the true story of how we persuaded James to return to wfm.
