Manchester vs Cancer

[gram 0]

Was very good last year with Shaun Ryder, Doves, New Order, Marr, Mani, 808 State, Stephen Fretwell, Elbow and 9 Black Alps. Excellent moments throughout.

 

This year its Ian Brown, Charlatans, EATB and some to be confirmed.

 

Worth a visit if any you like that kind of stuff.

 

Forgot to say its on 30th March and tickets on sale this friday

Elbow should have a new album out around then (Brambles - http://www.sendspace.com/file/ucnul7, a new track if anyone is interested), so if they are playing this year there should be alot of newer stuff. Doves are writing aswell.

In the meantime, would you like to be a record breaker? Well come to Cathedral Gardens in Manchester

between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday 13th January and join our very own Andy Rourke

To kick off this year’s campaign we’re trying to get the most buskers as possible to play. You’ll get a free

It’s all fun and games, at 3.30pm we’re all gathering in Cathedral Gardens to see if we’ve broken the record.
