The Chinese New Year Celebrations in Leicester started with a procession through the city center to the clock tower stopping at various points to entertain the gathered crowds with dancing dragons and a longer dragon chasing a pearl through the streets. The procession ended at New Market Square where a dragon dance was performed with a traditional drum accompaniment and a 3D projection shown on the corn exchange. The event concluded with a pyrotechnic display and firecrackers.

Join me on a ride of Leicester`s spectacular Wheel Of Light. Situated in the heart of the Leicesters Old Town in Jubilee Square the Wheel Of Light affords riders a spectacular 8 to 10 minute ride, with views of the city`s high street,  Cathedral and more as they travel up to 110 feet in one of 24 covered gondolas, each seating 6 people. Look out for a spectacular sunset and the studios of BBC Radio Leicester also featured in this video.

2019 saw the 50th anniversary of the apollo moon landings meaning many of my films had a space theme, from The Leicester City Festival in the summer with it’s out of this world theme to The Outer Space Bricklive trail and the Overview Effect projections, in 2019 Leicester looked to the Moon. It was also the year exhibition MODS Shaping A Generation opened at Leicester`s New Walk Museum and Leicesters MODS turned out in large numbers on opening day to give it their seal of approval. Street Art again featured heavily with Bring The Paint 2019 transforming many of the cities walls and the legal street art zone in St Margarets underpass opening.
