Neighbourhood Festival 8/10/16

In it's first year, brand new indie Festival sold-out and stormed the streets of Manchester. You can subscribe for early bird tickets for NBHD 2017 here.

Despite there being over 100 acts, I only managed to see a handful, the queues for the venues were horrendous and they sold way too many tickets, Liam Fray (who I wanted to see most) was full up 2 hours before doors even opened - at which point I was enjoying Blossoms whom I'd queued for for well over an hour. If you go next year, get in early for the acts you wanna see.

You can see the full line up from this years festival here.

An Interview With Corner Pilots

Ever heard of a band called Corner Pilots? Well if you haven't it's your loss. They're a five piece band from Surrey who play insane rock music and are definitely worth getting to know. You can have a listen to some of their tracks on SoundCloud HERE.

Q. Why did you choose the name Corner Pilots and who came up with it?

A. Our frontman Dan came up with it. We got to a point where we had to be called something when performing and that's the first one he came up with that we liked the sound of

David Bowie 1947-2016

"I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir."

As long as I can remember, David Bowie has always been my hero, he was an exceptionally talented musician, actor and painter. To hear of his death is an absolute shock (I'll be dressed in black for at least a week). David Bowie, aged 69, peacefully passed away in his home yesterday surrounded by his family, at the hands of cancer. He will forever be remembered for everything he has blessed humanity with, he was a gift. The whole world will be mourning the loss of this talented star.
