The project is entirely got talking at a party. He knew that Luke owns and runs a Renewable local…well 98%.

So, they decided They provide the cafes with reusable plastic buckets into which they empty to email the guys at Rotterzwam (zwam being dutch for mushroom!) and their used coffee grinds. These are collected on Mondays, Wednesdays and arranged a Skype to talk over their operation. Fridays to ensure that they are relatively fresh, and replaced with clean buckets. The coffee grinds are then taken back to the farm and put through Swiftly, Waqar and Luke ended up flying out to see them a few weeks later a mixer with a number of key ingredients- all natural.

Luke Osborne and Waqar Choudhry show off their marvellous mushrooms The mix is then decanted into 5 kg bags, which are hung in an incubation room for around 4 weeks in a pitch black, warm environment. When the bags are ready, they are moved over to the fruiting room, which is where the magic happens. The fruiting room is cooler and mimics daylight. This forces the mycelium to think that it is the ideal time to ‘fruit’ and that is when it produces the mushrooms. The guys are very grateful to their affiliates at all the coffee shops they work with. Early on they approached them and explained that Urban Mushrooms could help them reduce their carbon footprint as well as their waste streams and they were very happy to get on board and be a part of it. Luke and Waqar feel that the customers appreciate ethical businesses and they help to facilitate that. They try to reuse everything that they can where possible. “The hooks and tie-wraps are re-usable, the spent substrate becomes an incredible compost and soil improver and the buckets are re-useable”. The building itself hadn’t been used for 25 years, so you could say they have breathed new life into that. All the floor coverings are offcuts and discards that were going to be heading to landfill. Any unsold mushrooms are either given to the Storehouse or turned into mushroom powder. This is all done to promote people to take away their own hand produced bags. Waqar and Luke are the ‘circular economy’, where the discards from one process are not also looking to partner with other local producers and organisations and classified as waste- but an available resource for the next industry. hopefully offer a way to ‘up-skill’ disadvantaged members of the community. As for the future, Urban Mushrooms hope to expand what they are doing. Luke is really looking forward to this year’s Village Green. He loves The fresh mushrooms are a ’showcase’ piece and the business would love seeing the diversity that the festival brings to the town as well as a good more restaurants to come on board and support local foods.

They are now selling fantastic kits for people to grow their own oyster When asked what his favourite mushroom dish is, Luke states “The mushrooms from their own coffee waste, which as well as the benefit of fantastic mushroom soup that my wife makes, however, I do make some completely fresh food in your kitchen, is a fun educational piece for the mean tandoori mushrooms roasted in the oven!” children to learn about sustainability and food.

  • Press Release August 2014
    Press release August 2014 For immediate release Metal Billboard National arts organisation Metal, based in Peterborough, have been working with artists and designers to create new billboard signs that ask passers-by to engage in a conversation about big issues Inspired by the quote from Anton Chekhov in 1888, that ‘the role of the artist is to ask questions’, arts organisation Metal, based at Chauffeurs Cottage on St. Peters Road, Peterborough, approached key national figures working in the art-world today to pose questions to the city of Peterborough. These included comedian Phill Jupitus, singer/songwriters Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy and Mark Stewart from The Pop Group, poet Mark Grist and authors Paul Morley and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. The questions posed range from the humorous to the thought provoking, and often relate to real issues that the city or the world is facing. For example, themes like migration, finance, war, and animal rights are all explored. The Questions “When was the last time you went to an art gallery?” Phill Jupitus, comedian “What happens next?” Paul Morley, author “Are migrants not human?” Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, author “Are you worth it?” Neil Hannon, singer/songwriter (The Divine Comedy) “What’s an artist worth?” Mark Grist, educator and poet “Why do animals exist?” Kate Garner, photographer “Can you fall up?” Mehmet Sander, choreographer “For how much longer do we tolerate mass murder?” The Pop Group, post punk provocateurs “What role does love play in economics?” Jude Kelly, artistic director (Southbank Centre) “What is necessary here?” Sally Tallant, artistic director (Liverpool Biennial) The questions acted as inspiration for new art works created by ten visual artists who were selected from a national call-out.

  • The Royal Court Theatre Announces Performers for Manwatching by an Anonymous Woman
    PRESS RELEASE Friday 5 MAY 2017 THE ROYAL COURT THEATRE ANNOUNCES PERFORMERS FOR MANWATCHING BY AN ANONYMOUS WOMAN Comedians presented in alphabetical order Will Adamsdale, Rob Beckett, Danny Brown, Adam Buxton, Nick Frost, Phill Jupitus, Miles Jupp, Funmbi Omotayo, John-Luke Roberts, Sunil Patel, Romesh Ranganathan, Arthur Smith, Mark Thomas, Thom Tuck, Phil Wang and Liam Williams will be performing MANWATCHING. Written by an anonymous woman and performed by an unprepared man MANWATCHING is directed by Royal Court Associate Director Lucy Morrison with Lighting Design by Jamie Spirito. Like each comedian, audiences will also be unprepared, only finding out who is performing on the night itself. MANWATCHING runs from 10 – 20 May 2017 in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs before going on tour to The MAC, Belfast, Latitude Festival and Roundabout @ Summerhall, Edinburgh. There is no press night for MANWATCHING, press are invited in from 11 May 2017. MANWATCHING is a funny, frank, and occasionally explicit insight into heterosexual female desire, read out by a man. The show begins with a male comedian being given a script they have never seen before. They read the script out loud, sight unseen, in front of an audience. This is a show about what one woman thinks about when she thinks about sex with men. Commenting on the project the anonymous female writer states; “I have been thinking about what it means to be objectified, and whether or not that is really tied to desire or power. Although men are objectified by other men, I was at a loss to think of many examples of men being objectified by women, and the examples I could think of were quite complicated - frequently involving the man's profession rather than appearance (in Sex and the City, for example, men are usually referred to in shorthand by whatever job it is they do rather than how they look or act), or their dominance was the source of objectification.

  • THE TELEVISION ANNUAL for 196O the Most Eminent Actors and Actresseson the British Stage Nowadays Appear in Television
    THE TELEVISION ANNUAL FOR 196o The most eminent actors and actresseson the British stage nowadays appear in television. Vivien Leigh chose the unusual playThe Skin of Our Teeth,when she appeared for Granada. According to the "audience ratings", however,the play was not popular with viewers. THE TV REVOLUTION KENNETH BAILYSurveys the Non -Stop Development of British Television THE expansion of television, in numbers of viewers and in organization behind the programmes, has made a rapid spurt. In size and complexity, what is involved in television today was undreamed of only five years ago. Gone for ever are the days when every viewer knew where each programme was coming from, and knew that the BBC was responsible for all that he saw. Today many a viewer finds himself lost in a tangle of symbols like ATV, AR, ABC, TTT, TWW, and more; understanding of what goes on is fogged by varied "channel" numbers; by such slogans as "Granada from the North" when the programme comes from Chelsea; and by a mixture of ITV "boss" names always popping up in the press, like Parnell, Bernstein, Grade, Brownrigg and Adorian. Those old familiar names, Alexandra Palace and Lime Grove, which once meant the absolute source of all British television, are now lost among the mostly unnamed and little publicised studios of ITV in London and the provinces. And much that is seen comes out of film cans from Hollywood, New York, Elstree and Teddington, produced out of a vortex of film -cum -TV financiers, producers, distributors and others. The maze of operations which is television today contrasts sharply with the tiny beginning, and the slow start.
