We will be embarking on a deep psychogeographical study of space so please bring a pen, pencil or some other writing imple…
Hi everyone, heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported The LRM in 2016 in so many ways, especially during Loitering With Intent. The best, of course, is still to come and I can see some marvellous adventures on the horizon....
It’s time for the first First Sunday of 2017, and in typical contra…
Hi everyone, quick reminder First Sunday will actually be on Second Sunday in January, ie on the 8th. Details soon. In the meantime some friends of The LRM have surveys you may wish to contribute to (both posted before, but deadlines now looming):
This has been a truly remarkable year for Loitering and one of my personal highlights was the thrill of collaborating with the wonderful LoneLady on The Psychogeographical Sat Nav. You can hear The Street is Your Playground (LRM Mix) A Psychogeographical Sat Nav by LoneLady featuring The LRM on Soun…
First Sunday for December is Sunday 4th and we will be meeting outside The Crown and Kettle on Oldham Road at 2pm for a classic old school derive
January 1st is first Sunday of 2017 but we will postpone a week so folk can get there
All welcome and it would be wonderful to see as many folk as p…
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to Loitering With Intent. Life and Big Bad Reality have stopped me from pausing to contemplate and say thus sooner but with a couple of weeks distance I can see what a truly wonderful unique exhibition/festival/shenanigan it was. It would not have been po…
Last day of Loitering With Intent today and also the last clue in the great LoneLady treasure hunt. The tokens to swap for a psychogeographical sat nav will stay in their hidey holes for a while yet but the track will vanish from the internet later today so listen now if you haven't. Here is that fi…
Token number nine:
"'ella, 'ella, ella, eh eh
It's a right of way"
Still only one record has been claimed.... if you are after additional clues I suggest the curator's talk on Thursday 13th October - 6pm at People's History Museum - may be useful.
When the exhibition closes on Friday at 5…
"get wisdom and with all thy wisdom get understanding. Next door you can make some noise so get between the covers with our Folk
Here's the latest clue in our great Lonelady treasure hunt. Find a token and contact us to exchange it for a special limited edition 10 inch vinyl copy of The Street is Your Playground (free download here: https://soundcloud.com/lonelady/the-street-is-your-playground-lrm-mix-a-psychogeographical-sat…
Hi everyone, i've been having some technical issues which means todays treasure hunt clue will be on twitter @thelrm and our facebook page before i can post it here. Apologies. Its also First Sunday and our traditional derive starts 2pm from the community gallery in Peoples History Museum - all very…
Still trying to assimilate the last week Walking Women at Edinburgh was truly magical. How wonderful to be surrounded by walking artists who inspire, understand, support and challenge each other. Nourishment for the creative soul and amazing to not have to justify being a women walking…
The psychogeographical sat nav is a collaboration between the marvellous LoneLady and The LRM. You can read all about it below. The music is freely available to all but the physical object - a 10" single with handmade cover art - can only be obtained by careful searching and a huge dollop of luck.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the opening weekend of Loitering With Intent such an amazing event. I'm still trying to figure out where those lost posts are but until I do here is a public service announcement
Loitering With Intent is closed until August 1st for a beer festival, there…
So this is a bit embarrassing. I have just realised all the blogs I thought I had been posted have not appeared. I have absolutely no idea why, but I am sorry. Going to try one again now and see what happens:
I dreamt a psychogeographical sat nav that didn’t take you from A to B the most efficien…
The streets belong to EVERYONE and we need to keep them safe, interesting and open for all. Its First Sunday, this Sunday and we will be playing out for the last time before Loitering With Intent opens. Please join us 2pm in Piccadilly Gardens (near the Victoria statue). One small step to Utopia is …
I am delighted that I have been awarded a grant from the Arts Council Grants for The Arts. This will enable The LRM to produce publicity materials, contribute to artists expenses and to produce some new work - details to be confirmed. (I'll also doubtless write a bit more about money, art and th…
The first of a series of guest blogs by contributors to Loitering With Intent. Jane Samuels has collaborated with The LRM many times over the years and is on the exhibition organising committee. Her art is passionate, political and visually stunning and I am thrilled she will be sharing new and belo…
This blog is a place for field reports, rantings, place writing and psychogeographical whatnots. More about what this all actually means will, we hope, become apparent in coming posts but this is very much a work in progress...
