Sunak may have got a better hearing had his new plan, Network North, not been the second rail plan for the north of England in as many years. HS2's history of overspending and mismanagement may make it hard to love but, whether the PM likes it or not, there is political and business consensus north of Birmingham that it was crucial to permanently bridging the north-south productivity divide. The anger and dismay that greeted the news, from industry groups to former prime ministers, was to be expected.

His pitch was to trade in the 14-year-old cross-party promise to deliver a new line to the city - part of the "old consensus" he decries - for a series of smaller regional and local links using the £36bn saved on HS2. Appropriately, the railways were not running in Manchester on the day Rishi Sunak cancelled the trains of the future.Ī strike left Manchester Piccadilly quiet while up the road, in the conference centre that occupies the Victorian grandeur of the old Manchester Central station, the prime minister tried to ensure high-speed rail will never get there. Information about the New Music Weekly nominations is available at: and information about Starmaker Machinery will be found at. Over the years her projects have included many significant artists, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dave Navarro, No Authority, and Shia LaBeouf.Īutumn Sky Wolfe is on Twitter and Facebook and her music is on iTunes and CDBaby. Meredith Day founded Starmaker Machinery in 1985 with a mission to help artists who reminded her of herself as a teenage “wanna-be” folksinger. “In addition to her ability to read music, she has a remarkable memory for melody and lyrics and can modify a musical pattern on a nearly instantaneous basis, making her a dream for her music director,” Day notes. She displays a singular passion to perform. People meeting her are often unaware of her autism and just think she is shy.

But Autumn has transcended all expectations. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in 1998 at two years old, there was a long list of things her parents were told she couldn’t do. The 18-year-old Autumn Sky Wolfe ( ) is an inspiring example of the way some people are able to cope with autism. Not only has she never missed a show, she has performed under scenarios that would make the average singer run in terror. “In my thirty years of working with artists I’ve never seen someone as unaffected by commotion or diversions of any kind. “This beautiful girl just doesn’t seem to even know the meaning of the term ‘stage fright’,” Day notes. Her poise and steadfastness in the face of intense distraction are qualities much admired by her manager, Meredith Day. Wolfe is taking the attention in stride, just as she does when performing. “It’s incredibly exciting to be included in the New Music Weekly Awards,” Wolfe states, “and especially considering I’m up against artists like Sam Smith and my very favorite artist, Meghan Trainor.” Yet she now has an EP on iTunes, has been nominated by New Music Weekly magazine as “Best New Adult Contemporary Artist,” as well as “Crossover Artist of the Year,” and she’s working with talent agency Starmaker Machinery in Los Angeles. When teenager (now 18) Autumn Sky Wolfe was diagnosed with autism, the last thing on her mind was a singing career.
