Speaking at De Montfort University last week was a joy! The students were good listeners (they had to be as I banged on well over my allotted time) and Diane Taylor, their esteemed doctor of humanities and media, was a great hostess.
I was given a tour of The Curve Theatre, a brand-spanking-new entertainment hub in the town which towered into the mid-day blue sky with a curious infinity-like grace.
I’m not normally in awe of modern architecture but could have craned my neck at it for hours!

Wow – yet another major development in Leicester. I’ve heard it’s been much improved since I graduated from DeMontfort. did they really spend £15m on the city centre shopping complex?!
Good to hear they’re putting more real businesses people in front of students too.
They also took me to see the outside of the new digital media centre: http://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/showcase/digital-media-centre.jsp
The concept is very cool and it’s a little further out than The Curve.
It should be ready later this year, when I’m sure I’ll return to see how it’s turned out!
