jonoshea.jpgREMEMBER John O'Shea from last year's AND Festival - who demonstrated how to make a football from a pig's bladder in an empty shop on Bold Street and help a match with it in Arthouse Square?

Well, he's back for this year's AND Festival with the world's first bio-engineered football.

This year, AND is being hosted in Manchester and O'Shea's football - grown from live animal cells - will be documented at CUBE (Centre for the Urban Built Environment) from August 30 to September 2.
