Or So We've Heard is an ongoing collaboration with Helen Sharp and local residents accross the council areas of Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon , Cookstown & Dungannon. For the project we are organising a series of research gathering events accross the council areas where we gather place nicknames, remidies, recipies cures and contemporary urban myths and anecdotes This vernacular, word of mouth information will be published in a book late 2009. The book will be illustrated with drawings and photographs relating to these areas. The book will be published at the end of 2009.

The unofficial and vernacular material collected does not appear on city street maps or other official, formal state or city documents. The interest in unofficial information stems from a concern regarding the politics of how place is described at a local level.
