On 13 February 2013 we launch, ‘Black Country – Legends!’ a special celebration about all things Black Country – its charm, quirkiness and characters.

Highlights include ‘Ray’s A Laugh’ by Dudley born photographer and Turner Prize nominee, Richard Billingham, a short film and artwork by mysterious local artist AJW who has secretly left over 250,000 drawings and sketches of 1940’s Hollywood star, Mario Lanza, in pubs and shops across the region over 50 years, and a giant map constructed by Brendan Jackson, revealing the things that are odd and peculiar about the region.
