Breaking News ....... in Chorlton

Talking books have just taken off in a new direction.

The idea of listening to something worthy like the stories of the classic authors is not new but my old chum Peter Topping has chosen to do something a littler different and well within the quirky side of his character with his 'Musical Poems and Pictures of Chorlton-cum-Hardy', and like his first interactive book it is accessible to the visually-impaired and hard of hearing both young and old.

As Peter says, “After the great success of the first interactive book 'Musical Nursery Rhymes and Pictures by Peter' I was inspired to produce the next book in the series "Musical Poems and Pictures of Chorlton-cum-Hardy". 

Again this book is accessible to the visually-impaired and hard of hearing both young and old. This is Book 1 in the set which features songs about some of my favourite Chorlton places. 

Thanks to GECKO, Chorlton Civic Society, Navilens, Chorlton Arts and Topper Publishing for supporting this project. The book will be offered free to the visually-impaired and hard of hearing people of Chorlton and district, while stocks last. Contact me for details. peter@pubbooks.co.uk”.

And yes by scanning the QR codes you can view a video of each page with lots of pictures from the bok, listen to the text on the page, listen to the songs and sing along with the karaoke subtitles.
