Rochdale based Glass Eye Productions held their 1st Birthday Party celebrating their 1st year as a company on Wednesday 23 June at their Moss Mill (New York style) Studio. The event was supported by Urcom and Flux Magazine, as part of Flux Magazine’s 7 Events Festival.

Glass Eye Productions was set up by Danny Lomax and Eddie Robson through the NES scheme at Manchester Business School, the Youth Business Trust and is supported through Business Link North Manchester. In their first year they produced Velvet Shores first music promo which was showcased at Manchester’s Night and Day Cafe as part of their official UK tour. They are currently producing a music promo for the Seven Sisters, with more to come in the next months, and are currently in the process of developing TV and film projects around the UK.

Spinning a specially crafted set to accompany Glass Eye's visuals were DJ's Alix Walker from Flux and Xander Cook (Flux/Phush). Eddie Robson remixed promos and films from the darkest depths of his video collection including clips from their first music promo from Jan 2002, a show reel for an actress and local community project films. Later in the evening, a dose of visuals was provided by James Green who has worked alongside the likes of Basement Jaxx and Plump DJ's.

A group from Kirkholt who are working with Glass Eye with funding from Rochdale Boroughwide Housing were at the party. Roger Shand, Cullin Brown and Geordie are creating a video which tells a story about life on Kirkholt estate and is going to be made up of photograph stills.
