The first event John Popham will be covering live online as part of his Celebration 2.0 project is Sheffield Steel Roller Girls: Murder on the Flat Track Express, which kicks off at 12pm today.

I’m really looking forward to working with the Roller Girls to help them spread the word about a growing phenomenon. I’ll be with them from 12 noon till 6pm, helping to cover 2 bouts (including a mens’ contest!) and celebrate the atmosphere and passion of the crowd.

See the live stream of all the fast and furious roller derby fun in the playbox above. For more information and coverage see the Celebration 2.0 website.

If you have a local celebration event that you think would benefit from the Celebration 2.0 treatment (such as a carnival, festival, parade or show) let John Popham know!
