We asked: Which celebrity sums Sheffield up?
Transcript
00:00Could you tell me which celebrity you think sums Sheffield up?
00:04I think probably Jarvis Conker.
00:07Why Jarvis do you think?
00:08Well he's just an icon isn't he? For an old lady.
00:14Again, gotta be Ollie Sykes. Has to be. Big Room of the Horizon fan so only fair that's my answer.
00:21For me I'd say Richard Hawley does.
00:25We saw the musical at the Crucible and for me he does.
00:33But my wife has also said Pete McKay as well who we've also seen live here.
00:39So yeah he was very good.
00:42So yeah we love his art and it's currently on at the Westland Park isn't it?
00:50I don't know really. I guess sort of maybe Richard Hawley again.
00:54And then there's obviously Jarvis Cochrane stuff like that for me.
00:58They kind of represent Sheffield sort of internationally.
01:02Stuff like that which I quite like.
01:04So yeah I'd probably say those two really for me.
01:07I'd probably say Pete McKay.
01:09I've been to his exhibition in the Westland Park Museum and I think it's a really good museum.
01:16And I think it's really accurate to what Sheffield is.
01:20I suppose the first person I think of is Ed Clancy who really is from Barnsley as opposed to Sheffield.
01:26But if we're allowed to have Sheffield adjacent then I think Ed's achievements as an Olympian are just phenomenal.
01:34And he's so down to earth and again he's someone I've had the privilege to meet.
01:39And I just think that down to earth approach and also he's the best of us.
01:43You know it's amazing what you can achieve.
01:45And you know I just think he's a phenomenal person and such a great representation for Sheffield
01:51and the region really of supporting achievement but also just encouraging people to be,
01:57well I suppose be active which is the thing I think a lot about with Movemore.
