Older generations were less aware, with a fifth of Millennials (21%) and just one in six (17%) of Gen X able to specify dogs can see blue/yellow.</p><p>Interestingly, Northerners appear more knowledgeable – owners from Leeds and Manchester were the most clued in, with one in three (30% and 28% respectively) aware that dogs only see blue/yellow, while the south lagged behind, with 32% of London dog owners incorrectly assuming that their dog sees all the colours that humans see. </p><p>A collage of people walking a dogAI-generated content may be incorrect.</p><p>Despite their lack of knowledge, dog owners have good intentions when it comes to giving their pets a healthy lifestyle and enjoyable environment. After learning about dog vision, 69% said they would purchase toys, bedding or accessories in blue or yellow, with 78% admitting that they would be willing to spend more on items in colours their dog can see clearer. </p><p>In fact, with over 13 million dog owners in the UK2, Brits are collectively spending more than £2.4 billion a year on their dog’s toys, enrichment tools and activities. While dogs cost their owners £191 a year on average for these enrichment purchases, younger generations are spending more with those aged 25-34 dishing out £242 a year, compared to just £88 for owners over 55.</p><p>While well-being is important to owners, the data revealed that close to three in 10 (28%) wish they had more time or ideas for providing their dogs with enrichment. </p><p>Almost half (43%) worry their dog is bored or lacking in mental stimulation, and 17% feel guilty that they don’t do enough to mentally enrich their dog’s day-to-day life beyond meals and walks.</p><p>The average amount of time dog owners spend actively playing with or training their dog is just 41 minutes a day. Shockingly, nearly half (44%) only spend 15-30 minutes a day actively engaging with their pet in this way.</p><p>Women are more likely to take their dog on daily walks, play with toys and games, and visit dog-friendly locations with their pets, while men are more likely to use professional walking and daycare services, and take their dogs to organised activities like dog-friendly festivals, organised walks and breed meets.</p><p>One in 10 dog owners (9%) admit they hadn’t even thought about their dog’s mental stimulation before, suggesting a wider knowledge gap regarding the holistic well-being of pets.</p><p>Following its survey findings, Agria aims to educate dog owners on how their pets’ vision can influence their behaviour and interaction with their environment, so owners can create more enriching and enjoyable lifestyle for their animals.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/3-in-5-dog-owners-in-the-dark-about-pets-pov/">3 in 5 dog owners in the dark about pet’s POV</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26842</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Dita Von Teese adds extra dates to UK tour</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/dita-von-teese-adds-extra-dates-to-uk-tour/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2025 01:24:45 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26839</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The ever-reining queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese, is set to return to the UK’s grand stages in early 2026, captivating audiences with her most enchanting show to date: Nocturnelle.

Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic. Tickets for this exclusive 11-date UK tour are on sale now.</p><p>The Nocturnelle tour follows Dita’s record-breaking Glamonatrix tour which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all time, spanning multiple continents over a five year period. Renowned for producing the most lavish touring burlesque shows in history, Von Teese raises the bar yet again with a production that is opulent, and richly imaginative. Often imitated but never duplicated, Dita remains in a class of her own. Dita’s shows have most recently been attended by Harry Styles, Jean Paul Gaultier, Olivia Wilde, Tim Burton, Pamela Anderson, Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Josh Groban, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and the great Golden Age star, Leslie Caron.</p><p>“Nocturnelle is my most glambitious show yet,” says Von Teese. “It’s where sophisticated striptease meets the spellbinding art of illusion. Learning from master magicians and diving into the secrets of vintage magic, I set out to create something uniquely enchanting… it’s the art of the Teese, plus a little trickery, and a whole lot of glitz.”</p><p>Dita Von Teese is internationally recognized as the Queen of Burlesque, having set a history-making benchmark for this great American art form, with unrivaled artistry and flair as performer, creative director, choreographer and producer. Her sensational spectaculars, along with her current residency at The Venetian, present a gender- and body-diverse cast of the crème de la crème of neo-burlesque performers, hailing from all over the world—and always celebrating the spirit of joie de vivre so dear to Dita Von Teese.</p><p>TOUR DATES:</p><p>JANUARY 2026

EMBs also outperform peers on innovation, with 30% reporting innovation activity, compared to just 11% of non-EMBs (1), reinforcing their role in driving UK competitiveness and supply chain resilience. Crucially, a 1% uplift in SME growth could inject an additional £2.5 billion into the UK economy, highlighting the untapped potential of greater inclusion.</p><p>Held on 11–12 September at London’s historic Guildhall, the Summit attracted nearly 600 attendees and connected more than 300 small and diverse businesses with senior executives from global organisations including the City of London Corporation, Cabinet Office, Accenture, Amazon, Nationwide, Monzo, Nestlé, EY, and Siemens.</p><p>A first-of-its-kind UK summit, organised in partnership with MSDUK, OutBritain, Social Enterprise UK, Veteran UK, and WEConnect International, it celebrated standout small and diverse business success stories, such as Gibbs Consulting, Europe’s largest ethnic minority owned business and Combat2Coffee, a veteran-led social enterprise supported by England Captain Terry Butcher.</p><p>Renowned Olympian Kriss Akabusi MBE delivered a rousing keynote on teamwork, resilience, and collaboration, inspiring delegates to work collectively towards a more inclusive economy.</p><p>Roundtables hosted by EY, Nestlé, and RBC Royal Bank gave small and diverse businesses the opportunity to share procurement challenges and propose solutions directly to major corporate buyers. In addition, panel discussions explored legislative changes, onboarding requirements, reporting challenges, and the broader business case for engaging small and diverse businesses, helping both corporates and suppliers align on practical steps for inclusion.</p><p>Commenting on the event, Reshma Sheikh, Managing Director of MSDUK: “Recent immigration protests have exposed systemic challenges faced by minority communities. This year’s conference set out to counter that narrative by showcasing the remarkable contributions of ethnic minority-owned businesses and demonstrating how supplier diversity fosters sustainable practices and drives economic growth.”</p><p>Looking ahead, MSDUK will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026, with plans to further scale its mission of building a truly inclusive economy.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/as-immigration-protests-loom-uk-summit-reveals-ethnic-minority-businesses-hold-74bn-key-to-growth/">As Immigration Protests Loom, UK Summit Reveals Ethnic Minority Businesses Hold £74bn Key to Growth</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26832</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Downton Abbey returns – with a modern-day etiquette guide for cinemagoers</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/downton-abbey-returns-with-a-modern-day-etiquette-guide-for-cinemagoers/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2025 02:25:19 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26829</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>As Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale releases this weekend, leading etiquette expert Laura Windsor has unveiled a Downton-inspired etiquette guide for cinemagoers.

The electronic synths and a pulsating beat of “Peace of Mind” brought together with the dark house tension of “Flood,” creates a captivating listen. “Peace of Flood” is already a staple in Swedish House Mafia and Sebastian Ingrosso’s sets, and throughout Martin’s summer tour. </p><p>Later this month, Garrix is set to release his new EP ORIGO.

The next six months will be decisive for him.” </p><p>Asked by presenter Christopher Hope whether he will lead the party into the next election, he said: “He may or he may not. That’s always true of politicians, by the way. Nobody predicted Thatcher going, Blair went. You know they come in they [go].” </p><p>Lord Glasman also paid tribute to Yvette Cooper, who was moved from Home Secretary to Foreign Secretary in the reshuffle, saying that he was much more Eurosceptic than previously thought. </p><p>He said: ” She represents a Yorkshire constituency where Reform is very strong and the sentiment of Euroscepticism has been very strong for a long time. She has engaged with that. She’s talked to that. </p><p>“So I actually think that she’s a tougher prospect at the Foreign Office. The way that I see it is that in the next six months, we’ve got to really get tougher with France.”</p><p> Listen to or watch Chopper’s Political Podcast on GB News’ YouTube channel or on Spotify or Apple itunes.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/labour-lord-glasman-sir-keir-starmer-has-six-months-to-prove-he-has-got-the-right-stuff-to-be-prime-minister/">Labour Lord Glasman: Sir Keir Starmer has six months to prove he has got the right stuff to be Prime Minister</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26823</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Pebbledash Release Latest Single ‘Tiles & Moss’ Ahead of Manchester Headline Show</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/pebbledash-release-latest-single-tiles-moss-ahead-of-manchester-headline-show/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:04:51 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Manchester]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26820</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Cork risers Pebbledash announce the upcoming EP To Cast the Sea in Concrete (5th November) & release anticipated new single ‘Tiles & Moss’.

Having gained widespread acclaim across tastemaker press and support across BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X and RTE, the single comes ahead of the band’s stint as part of The So Young Tour. </p><p>Recorded by Cathal MacGabhann (Altered Hours) mixed by Andy Killian (Pretty Happy) the new single showcases more of the band’s unique blend of post-punk aesthetics, blended with emotive shoegaze and grunge tendencies. Capturing the essence of Pebbledash’s evolving sound, encapsulating a year of growth, change, and reflection for the band, ‘Tiles & Moss’ highlights Pebbledash’s continued evolution, blending atmospheric tendencies with an undertone of Irish folk and a gritty, grungey finish.</p><p>The track opens with a wall of crunching guitars, swelling drones, and propulsive drums, before descending into a shadowed verse where the band entwines their signature dual vocals, ghosting in and out of one another until they resolve into a luminous harmony. As it unfolds, tension simmers beneath the surface, gathering momentum, until the closing moments surge into a climactic finale: guitars roaring beneath delicate, whimsical lead vocals that shimmer like light breaking through a storm.</p><p>Talking about the ‘Tiles and Moss’, Cormac Donovan O’Neill explains: “It was vital to us that when we brought Tiles and Moss to the studio, we would do it justice, as it’s been a stalwart of our live set for so long. As a song, we’ve always felt it’s quintessential Pebbledash, exploring so many sides of what makes up our musical DNA – the lurching, serrated texture of the guitars combined with Fionnbharr’s rapid-fire lyrical delivery recalling an Isn’t Anything-era my bloody valentine, Schuch’s pared-back drumbeat reminiscent of Sister or Daydream Nation. Spending four days in the studio living with these tracks encouraged us to really dig into the potential of these arrangements’ textural elements; underpinning Tiles and Moss you can hear the low hum and wheeze of a charity shop-find harmonium breathing throughout, that acoustic voice meshing in with the synthesiser, as much evoking Neu and Cluster as it does the sonorous pipes of Paddy Keenan and Liam O’Flynn.”</p><p>The song’s lyrics are done in the style of a murder balled but rather than a traditional balled of this style we took a more introspective focus trying to address self irritation or contempt and overcoming this frustration throughout the song, its a battle im sure most people are familiar with this vicious cycle of self sabotage and we articulate that struggle here!”</p><p>Pebbledash have built a growing reputation as both a live band and on record. Building a whole host of acclaim, including support across BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X (X-Posure Hot One), RTE (online, 2FM), Clash, Dork, Hot Press, Nialler9, Psychedelic Baby Magazine, Far Out, District Magazine and Golden Plec among others, the band have also become a firm favourite of So Young, appearing among the magazine’s tracks of the year and playing live So Young nights. The band has also gained significant Spotify Editorial playlist support, appearing on Hot New Bands, melomainia, Breathe of Fresh Eire and Fresh Finds to name a few. </p><p>PEBBLEDASH HEADLINE TOUR: </p><p>6th November<br />Cyprus Avenue, Cork</p><p>7th November<br />Workman’s Club, Dublin </p><p>8th November<br />Voodoo, Belfast </p><p>12th November<br />Servant’s Jazz Quarters, London </p><p>15th November<br />Castle Hotel, Manchester </p><p>16th November<br />The Attic, Leeds </p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/pebbledash-release-latest-single-tiles-moss-ahead-of-manchester-headline-show/">Pebbledash Release Latest Single ‘Tiles & Moss’ Ahead of Manchester Headline Show</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26820</post-id> </item> <item> <title>THE MAN FROM DELMONTE – Return To The O2 Ritz Manchester For Biggest Reunion Show Yet</title> <link>https://manchester-tv.co.uk/the-man-from-delmonte-return-to-the-o2-ritz-manchester-for-biggest-reunion-show-yet/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Manchester TV]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2025 23:00:35 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buzz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://manchester-tv.co.uk/?p=26817</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>This December, The Man From Delmonte will celebrate the launch of their new studio album with their biggest reunion show yet, returning to Manchester’s O2 Ritz for the first time in over three-and-a-half decades.

Now, the band are taking their reunion shows to the next level with a huge album launch party at the Ritz, accompanied by special guests The Mudd Club, Pageant Mum and DJ Phil Korbel. </p><p>“The vibe I’m aiming for is like when Twin Peaks came back after 25 years,” said vocalist Mike West on the reunion, “exciting, disturbing and confusing in equal parts.” The launch party will take place on 21st December, and tickets are on sale now. </p><p>About The Man From Delmonte</p><p>The Man From Delmonte were legendary between 1988 and 1991. </p><p>Selling out 3000 capacity venues, hitting the top of the indie charts and booking Inspiral Carpets and 808 State as their opening acts, Mike West, Sheila Seal, Martin Vincent and Howard Goody delivered classic pop tunes, including “Water in My Eyes’ and “My Love is Like a Gift” that were lyrically ahead of their time. Mike wrote and sang about loving men just as easily has he did about relationships with women. The audiences always loved it. The press often treated them with outright biphobia.</p><p>After a chance conversation with TV presenter Iain Lee, TMFB are returning to the stage. Their first reunion gig at Band on the Wall sold out in 12 minutes. The Manchester Academy 2 sold out in days. Original manager Jon Ronson (‘The Psychopath Test’, ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’) flew over from the US to introduce them at the first show and comedian Chris Addison was seen dancing on stage with the band. </p><p>Over 600 copies of the double CD reissue of their two albums, ‘Big Noise’ and ‘Good Things in Life’, have been bought by fans desperate to get their hands on anything TMFD related. The O2 Ritz is the biggest gig of the reunion and will be a double celebration. It’s 36 years since they last played at the venue, and it will also mark the launch party for their brand new studio album. </p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk/the-man-from-delmonte-return-to-the-o2-ritz-manchester-for-biggest-reunion-show-yet/">THE MAN FROM DELMONTE – Return To The O2 Ritz Manchester For Biggest Reunion Show Yet</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://manchester-tv.co.uk">Manchester TV</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">26817</post-id> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
