Dot To Dot Festival - Manchester various venues - 27th May 2016

Dot To Dot Festival is now a fixture in the late May bank holiday weekend in Manchester. It moved to the Northern Quarter a couple of years ago due to the close vicinity of dozens of great little gig spaces. We trekked round the venues catching some of our favourite bands as well as some new ones avoiding most of the big names.

Even The Stars Tips For 2015 - Day Two

Welcome to the day two of Even The Stars' tips for 2015. They're not necessarily artists that we think will make a big breakthrough (except our Top Three which we'll reveal on New Year's Eve), but bands and solo artists that haven't released their debut album we're looking forward to hearing and see more of next year.

Day Two's artists/bands are Bipolar Sunshine, Déjà Vega, Our Fold, Kelly Lee Owens, The Northstand, The Anchoress, Brahma-Loka and Mega Emotion.

Saint Agnes / The KVB / Enemies Eyes / Brahma-Loka - Manchester Soup Kitchen - 18th December 2014
