Dpercussion

i played on the new bands stage in the late afternoon which was frankly terrifying but amazing. after the adrenaline wore off i got really tired but managed to perk up for the sunshine undergound
wish it wasnt the last one though!

There's that New Islington festie that the organisers are being involved with but looks a bit more folky than Dpercussion..What was your band called?

Here is info bout New Islington-sounds very Guardian!

An Urban Folk Festival for Urban Folk

The New Islington Festival is Manchester’s newest and most unusual event. Situated just beyond the Northern Quarter it takes place in a brand new part of the city where avante garde architecture and design mix and everything is possible. The New Islington Festival is a celebration of this strange meeting of styles featuring music, art, film, poetry, literature and sheep.

Some might call New Islington a boutique festival but really it’s an urban festival for the folk of Manchester. At New Islington ideas collide, storytellers tell tales, and pedalos sail the canal. There are sand sculptures, new music, great food, interactive arts and fifteen different areas with something for everyone between the ages of 1-100 whether you’re a nu-raver or new romantic.

This event has been made FREE by the lovely people at New East Manchester, English Partnerships and Urban Splash.

I've never been to New Islington despite covering East Manchester for the past year. Nothing's happened there, obviously. Might pop along just to have a look.
